The team behind Nicolas Blies and Stéphane Hueber-Blies’s VR work This Is My Heart, taking part in the Immersive competition of the Venice Film Festival (28 August-7 September), bills it as “a contemporary tale of an extraordinary love story – that of the reconciliation of a child with his body” as well as “a sensory and narrative creation that highlights the distorted representation we have of our own bodies”.

This Is My Heart will offer a sensory odyssey in which the audience sees the connected garment light up in sync with the text of the story. A ballet of lights takes shape under the impulse of the story, conceived as a dialogue between the narrator and his own body. It is a 35-minute immersive work of the intimate, whole and organic: whether it’s the visual projections, the soundscape or the choreography of light that moves through the audience’s bodies, everything seems to breathe and react to the story, showcasing the beauty of human fragility and emphasising self-acceptance.

The experience is narrated in English by Raphel Famotibe and in French by Corentin Fila.

This Is My Heart (see the news) was produced by a_BAHN (Luxembourg), and co-produced by Lucid Realities (France) and Phi Studio (Canada). Marion Guth, François Le Gall, Julie Tremblay and Chloé Jarry served as the executive producers. Coline Delbaere is credited as the immersive experience’s producer.
