Nicolas Landrieux (Exhausted-Lab) is a creative director focused on creating full scale dance works at the intersection of music, scenography and interactive technology.
Merging neo-classical compositions with large scale immersive visuals and interactive technology.
I am a composer, creative director and visual artist with over 20 years of experience in design, motion, and brand storytelling. My work bridges music, dance, and technology to create immersive experiences that explore the evolving dialogue between humanity and the digital world.
I craft full-scale dance works that merge neo-classical composition with interactive scenography and visual design. My creative process blends the precision of contemporary design with the emotional depth of classical form, resulting in performances that question how classical artforms, contemporary expressions, and technology can coexist and inspire one another. Through my multidisciplinary background, I bring a holistic vision to each project: composing the music, designing the scenography, and directing the narrative and emotional flow.
Whether collaborating with major ballet institutions or independent choreographers, my goal is to help shape the next generation of immersive performances.
Concept Development
Every project begins with a strong conceptual foundation. This central thread becomes the lifeline of the work, a guiding narrative that balances vision, constraints, and context.
Scenography
Video projections and immersive environments are integral to every creation. Carefully designed and executed, these visual elements become a “third character” on stage engaging in dialogue with dancers and audience to heighten the emotional experience.
Music & Sound Design
Ranging from neo-classical composition to leftfield electronic music interwoven with orchestral tones, each score is crafted to deepen and drive the narrative. The music is shaped by the concept and refined through the choreography, until sound, movement, and image form a single expressive organism.
XR & Immersive Design
With today’s powerful tools and real-time technologies, interactive projections and spatial mapping have become seamless extensions of scenography. Combined with over two decades of expertise in film and motion design, each production transforms into a breathtaking environment where physical and digital spaces merge in perfect harmony.
