Al Hamrã, 2014

Under a star, or a canopy, with surfaces reflecting a warm and golden light, the musician Justin Godfrey calls the essential elements of the landscape, when the sun is setting on the sea.
The spectators auditors are sitting on stage, in front, and around Justin, facing the hall, left in the dark, fully empty and silent as the space.
Justin plays hang-drum, drums, and surely, some other percussions. His music is purely solar, ringing, and hypnotic.
The star is enshrined in a four meter diameter circle. It is made of composite materials, honeycomb weave aluminium panels, fibreglass, epoxy resin, inset edge bands. Its interior surfaces are covered of glass coloured micro-balls. It is composed of seven branches, assembled in situ and dismantled latter, in order to travel. It is suspended, vertically or horizontally with steel cables, around two meters fifty from the floor.
It is lighted by a device fixed in its axis position, on the wall at the back of the stage, or from below.
