About this Artist

Mehdi Toutain-Lopez is a video and light designer for performing arts. His work is interpreted and operated in real time to maintain a live artistic interaction with the performance. He combines the use of live cameras, live directing, editing, real-time compositing, color grading, and generative content. He uses various techniques to bring images on stage, always with a subtle integration into the scenography. As a video and light designer, he has worked with choreographers such as Carolyn Carlson, Isabelle Schad, Christina Ciupke, Fabrice Lambert, and Vincent Dupont. With Cyril Teste, Toutain-Lopez has been a member of Collectif MxM since 2004 as a video designer. They worked together on more than 15 plays presented internationally, including Nobody, Festen, Opening Night, La Mouette, and Sur l’autre rive. They also collaborated at Opéra Comique in Paris on productions of Hamlet and Fidelio, at the Vienna State Opera for Salome and Norma, and at Philharmonie de Paris with Katia and Marielle Labèque for Glass’ Cocteau Trilogy.
