Reawaken the forgotten history.
We’re in Montgomery, Alabama, in the heart of the segregated southern United States, on the 2:30 PM bus, March 2, 1955. Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old Black teenager, refuses to give up her seat to a White passenger. Despite threats, she remains seated. After being thrown in jail, she decides to sue the city and plead not guilty. No one ever dared to do such a thing at the time. And yet, no one remembers her name.
Colored: The Unsung Life of Claudette Colvin is an immersive experience adapted from a biographical essay, written by Tania de Montaigne, that traces the story of Claudette Colvin and her journey from struggle to abandonment.
When, 9 months later, Rosa Parks repeated the same act, everything changed. With the support of a young pastor who had recently arrived in Montgomery, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks became a hero, the spark that launched the civil rights movement. History was in the making. Claudette Colvin made it all possible, but she is the one who has been forgotten. She still lives in the United States today, and is 83 years old.
Colored allows the audience to enter a setting that will soon be haunted by the ghosts of 1950s Alabama. Thanks to augmented reality, which like no other technology allows our present to meet the past, Claudette’s story can become our story, entering our memories as a ‘lived’ moment in our own experience where we can each become witnesses to this heroic act.
In a set specially designed for the experience, iconic scenes from Claudette Colvin’s life during her fight for civil rights are replayed before your very eyes. Whether you’re alone or accompanied, you’ll be able to join your peers in a collective experience.
“Colored, the Unsung Life of Claudette Colvin” directed by Stéphane Foenkinos and Pierre-Alain Giraud, based on the work by Tania de Montaigne, produced by Novaya in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, co-produced with Flash Forward Entertainment (Taiwan).
Winner of the Award for Best Immersive Work of the 77th Festival de Cannes.
Ail-ddeffro’r hanes anghofiedig.
Rydyn ni yn Montgomery, Alabama, yng nghanol taleithiau gwahanedig de’r Unol Daleithiau, ar fws 2.30pm, ar 2 Mawrth 1955. Mae Claudette Colvin, merch Ddu 15 oed, yn gwrthod ildio’i sedd i deithiwr gwyn. Er gwaethaf bygythiadau, mae’n aros yn ei sedd. Ar ôl cael ei thaflu i’r carchar, mae’n penderfynu erlyn y ddinas a phledio’n ddieuog. Ar y pryd, doedd neb byth yn meiddio gwneud y fath beth. Ac eto, does neb yn cofio’i henw.
Mae Colored: The Unsung Life of Claudette Colvin yn brofiad ymdrochol sydd wedi’i addasu o draethawd fywgraffyddol, a ysgrifennwyd gan Tania de Montaigne, sy’n olrhain hanes Claudette Colvin a’i thaith o frwydr i gael ei gadael.
Pan ailadroddodd Rosa Parks yr un weithred naw mis yn ddiweddarach, newidiodd popeth. Gyda chefnogaeth gweinidog ifanc a oedd wedi cyrraedd Montgomery yn ddiweddar, sef Martin Luther King Jr., daeth Rosa Parks yn arwres ac yn wreichionen a daniodd y mudiad hawliau sifil. Crëwyd hanes. Claudette Colvin wnaeth y cyfan yn bosib, ond hi yw’r un sydd wedi cael ei hanghofio. Mae hi’n dal i fyw yn yr Unol Daleithiau heddiw, ac yn 83 oed.
Mae Colored yn tynnu’r gynulleidfa i mewn i leoliad a fydd cyn hir yn llawn o ysbrydion Alabama’r pumdegau. Diolch i realiti estynedig, sy’n caniatáu yn fwy na’r un dechnoleg arall i’r presennol gwrdd â’r gorffennol, gall stori Claudette ddod yn stori i ni, gan osod ei hunan yn ein hatgofion fel eiliad ‘fyw’ yn ein profiad ni ein hunain lle gallwn ni i gyd ddod yn dystion i’r weithred arwrol yma.
Mewn set a ddyluniwyd yn arbennig ar gyfer y profiad, bydd golygfeydd eiconig o fywyd Claudette Colvin yn ystod ei brwydr dros hawliau sifil yn cael eu hailchwarae o flaen eich llygaid. P’un a fyddwch ar eich pen eich hunan neu yng nghwmni rhywun, cewch ymuno â’ch cyfoedion mewn cyd-brofiad.
‘Colored: The Unsung Life of Claudette Colvin’, wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan Stéphane Foenkinos a Pierre-Alain Giraud, yn seiliedig ar waith Tania de Montaigne, wedi’i gynhyrchu gan Novaya mewn partneriaeth â’r Centre Pompidou, a’i gyd-gynhyrchu gyda Flash Forward Entertainment (Taiwan).
Enillydd y Wobr am Waith Ymdrochol Gorau y 77fed Festival de Cannes.
