To Be Sung is a production created at the Fondation Louis Vuitton around one of the leading figures of contemporary opera, Pascal Dusapin.
Invited to engage with the work, Pharrell Williams conceived a scenographic and lighting dialogue responding to the score’s suspended moments of silence. These charged silences filled with inaudible frequencies , were embodied through suspended water effects, frozen in mid-air by a lighting concept developed by Matiere Noire. To Be Sung explores the threshold between sound and absence, making the invisible perceptible.
CENTRALsv was commissioned to produce the development of the scenography and oversee the synchronization between stage movements and the artistic ensemble, ensuring a precise alignment between spatial composition, performative gesture, and musical structure.
