General

Muted is an immersive and sensitive experience that plunges you below the surface of a young girl’s silence, into an imaginary and poetic underwater world. Parental abandonment has left her voiceless. This is a story beyond words, one that is felt rather than told. Like a freediver, you gently descend along a line connecting you to the surface. This story-line will guide you down to the depths. Flowing through the thoughts and memories of this world of silence, ocean currents sometimes create strange dances like an imaginary sign language.

With the weightlessness of a freediver's descent, let you sink below the surface of a young girl’s silence, down to the depths of her illusion. (Christophe Monchalin)

A fall through silence :

She no longer speaks. Every day, she hides by the old stone wash-house to gaze into the bottom of the large pool. Through the reflections in the water, she slowly lets herself sink along the thread of her illusions, down to the depths of herself.

This story-line will guide you down to the depths. Flowing through the thoughts and memories of this world of silence, ocean currents sometimes create strange dances like an imaginary sign language.    

At first, the story in this virtual reality experience takes shape on the table at which the participant is seated. A scaled-down universe comes to life in front of them: they can look closer, or even peer behind objects. Muted is not a 360-degree movie, but an immersive experience (or “6 DoF”) that allows for full integration within the virtual environment. The story then continues in an infinitely vast underwater world. The participant’s descent into the depths is set to an original music composition. The sound design evolves as they sink lower and lower, deepening the immersion.
