Sharing a taste for innovation, Focal and the Théâtre Antique d'Orange naturally came together around L'Odyssée Sonore, a project combining heritage, modernity and sound innovation.
INNOVATION IN SOUND
Listed as a World Heritage Site, the Théâtre Antique and the city of Orange have made sound a new cultural ambition for the city's thousand-year-old heritage. To this end, immersive showcases have been designed, and the Théâtre Antique has called on Focal, a sound enthusiast since 1979, an expert in high-fidelity acoustics and a French living heritage company, to enhance the sound.
BATHYS HEADPHONES IN ORANGE
The first of these is L'Odyssée Sonore, an immersive show in which visitors travel through sounds and images projected onto the majestic Théâtre Antique d'Orange. Bathys was chosen to provide a pure listening experience. Its loudspeakers deliver high-fidelity sound while immersing the listener in a veritable listening bubble, thanks to its active noise reduction technology. It benefits from Focal's expertise in high-end hi-fi headphones for sensational listening.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL SOUND
L'Odyssée Sonore - in partnership with Edeis and Imki - is a monumental video mapping "generated by Artificial Intelligence. It is an incursion into mythology and wonder. Scenes, forests, gods, goddesses... are projected onto the entire ancient theater, and the multiple sound discoveries, thanks to three-dimensional spatialized and geolocalized sound, accompany each visitor.
