Thomas Bangalter - Mirage - Ballet for 16 Dancers

A vast and atmospheric piece of electronic minimalism, Mirage encompasses the changing states of the eponymous ballet – a ritual for 16 dancers conceived by choreographer Damien Jalet and contemporary artist Kōhei Nawa. Delivering a statement that feels both radical and accessible, attuned to the elements, Thomas Bangalter takes a sculptural approach to sound and music in the lineage of Iannis Xenakis. The cofounder of Daft Punk continues to carve a personal path grounded by experimentation as a mode of performance and the pleasure of collaboration.

Thomas Bangalter is a French artist, musician and composer. Co-founder and member of the duo Daft Punk (1993-2021), he has been working for thirty five years on the relationship between humans and technology, and has had a global impact on electronic music. Living and working in Paris, he focuses today on contemporary composition and explores the intersection between electronic structures, orchestral immersive music and abstract sound sculptures. Through various experiments, ballet and contemporary dance scores, film scores and art installations, he has notably collaborated with JR, Damien Jalet, Hofesh Shechter, Angelin Preljocaj, Quentin Dupieux and Gaspar Noé.
