A journey, a work in motion. WONDERLANDS visits a city, meets the population, records images and sounds, and transposes the impressions into a unique contemporary performance.
The filmmakers spent a week immersing themselves in the atmosphere of each big city in search of sounds and images. The material was then translated into a cinematic-acoustic composition wich was screened live on two separate screens with the musicians.
