GLUTTONY
An immersive audiovisual work. A voice moving through hunger. Through beauty, excess, and collapse. What begins as desire expands, consumes, and dissolves — returning to silence. Blending voice, choir, and electronic sound with moving image, choreography and spatial design, Gluttony unfolds as an emotional passage rather than a narrative.
Not a warning. Not a moral. Just a body moving through want.
The StoryGluttony is a multidisciplinary work by ECHLO, unfolding across orchestral recording, remixes, film, VR, and live immersive performance.
At its core is a simple condition: an emptiness that cannot be resolved.
The work approaches gluttony not as excess or indulgence, but as a response to that emptiness — a reaching outward when the inner world feels hollow. Consumption becomes ritual. Pleasure becomes temporary relief. The cycle repeats.
Across its forms, the piece moves through states of seduction, saturation, and collapse. The voice remains central, guiding the experience through moments of intimacy, overwhelm, and disappearance.
The orchestral composition, recorded with the Fames Orchestra, forms the foundation of the work, later shifting through remixes by Perdurabo and Luca Scarfidi that translate it into a more physical, rhythmic space. The film, developed in collaboration with Dr. Formalyst, draws on motion capture, CGI, and digitally mediated processes to build a fragmented visual world, with choreography by Irina Angles placing the body at its center. The work extends further into virtual space through a VR experience, and into physical space through a live performance shaped by spatial audio, developed with Jean-Philippe Dusse.
Each modality stands on its own, while remaining part of a larger, evolving structure — a world built from repetition, tension, and return.
