07 AUG – HAUTE VOLTIGE AIR MUSICAL “DREAMINGS”
(Press Release - English only)
Haute Voltige Air Musical “Dreamings”, at the Hechtel Airshow, Sanicole Air Club, 10th August 2003

Haute Voltige
It is a private organisation founded in 1988 by J.L. Monnet, a former leader of the Patrouille de France when he decided to leave the Air Force and promote Air Sports world wide.
Since then we have held 45 international events in Europe, America and Asia, paving the way to Japan (7 events) and P.R. China (13 events in 13 provinces / main cities).
Haute Voltige produces 3 different types of spectacular shows:
A sporting event: The FAI World Grand Prix, an official international aerobatic competition open to solo and formation teams flying to music, and sanctioned by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale).
Haute Voltige Specials to promote precision flying with top pilots, performed in accordance to the laws of each country, with the permission of the Civil Aviation Authorities (flights under bridges or through a natural cave, for example). Some people call this type of flying “stunts”, we call it “professional precision flying” because it requires serious practice and preparation with trained top level pilots.
The HV Specials also include our Ultimate Challenge: The Race which is a race against time involving solo pilots only, in a programme mixing horizontal pylon racing and vertical aerobatic figures. It’s a harmonious relation between excitement, sports, and technique.
Haute Voltige Air Musicals, similar to theatre acts with pilots and aircraft flying a story to music. This is our mix of sports, technique, art and culture.
And Virtual Haute Voltige, our latest development with a competition for virtual Formation Teams.
Air Musical
The first flight of the Wright Brothers was 100 years ago. Unfortunately, due to WWI, aircraft very quickly lost the statute of “piece of art” and “sport machine” to become tools for transporting and delivering people, freight or armament.
Since then the destiny of aircraft did not change because it is where (transport and wars) the business was organized and fruitful.
After 100 years of public celebrations of heroes or machines, Haute Voltige thought it was time to consider aircraft as a tool for creativity, blending the mathematical precision of music to an artistic emotion.
Therefore, unlike traditional airshows, the Air Musical will not celebrate a pilot, nor a machine, but the Art of Flying, performed by great actors.
Yes, actors are skilled pilots and brilliant aircraft, supported by musicians and all the ground staff who make the show happen, but the Star is simply “Flying”.
Dreamings
Dreamings is an eternal story about life and death, dream and war, show and happiness, involving sharks, dolphins and a mermaid. insert link to detailed story
The original music score was composed by Patricia Leidig (Germany) and Pedro Toro (Spain) who are the two members of the Spanish group “Almadrava”. http://www.almadrava.com
Dreamings is a word of the Aboriginal mythology in Australia. It relates to the Dreamtime (period of the creation) and to characters like the Snake Dreaming, the Rainbow Dreaming, the Dolphin or the Shark Dreaming, and so on… (more info below).
An Indigenous Australian told me one day that reality was what was happening during our dreams, and that what we lived during the day was just a bluff...
Stupidly, I laughed…
And we finally wrote “Dreamings”, the Air Musical…
More about Dreaming and Dreamtime
The expression 'Dreamtime' is most often used to refer to 'the time of the creation of all things', while 'Dreaming' is often used to refer to an individual's or group's set of beliefs or spirituality.
For instance, an Indigenous Australian might say that they have Kangaroo Dreaming, or Shark Dreaming, or Honey Ant Dreaming, or any combination of Dreamings pertinent to their 'country'. However, many Indigenous Australians also refer to the creation time as 'The Dreaming'.
What is certain is that 'Ancestor Spirits' came to Earth in human and other forms and the land, the plants and animals were given their form as we know them today.
These Spirits also established relationships between groups and individuals, (whether people or animals) and where they traveled across the land, or came to a halt, they created rivers, hills, etc., and there are often stories attached to these places.
Once their work was done, the Ancestor Spirits changed again; into animals or stars or hills or other objects. For Indigenous Australians, the past is still alive and vital today and will remain so into the future. The Ancestor Spirits and their powers have not gone, they are present in the forms into which they changed at the end of the 'Dreamtime' or 'Dreaming', as the stories tell.
The Australian Aborigines speak of jiva or guruwari, a "seed power" deposited in the earth. In the Aboriginal world view, every meaningful activity, event, or life process that occurs at a particular place leaves behind a vibrational residue in the earth, as plants leave an image of themselves as seeds. The shape of the land - its mountains, rocks, riverbeds, and waterholes - and its unseen vibrations echo the events that brought that place into creation. Everything in the natural world is a symbolic footprint of the metaphysical beings whose actions created our world. As with a seed, the potency of an earthly location is wedded to the memory of its origin. The Aborigines called this potency the "Dreaming" of a place, and this Dreaming constitutes the sacredness of the earth. Only in extraordinary states of consciousness can one be aware of, or attuned to, the inner dreaming.

by Robert Lawlor
The Dreamtime, that happy period of earlier days, is well known. It was a halcyon era when the world, and mankind, and all created things, were young. There was a natural innocence in this period when animals were still like men. The interchange of form between man and animal is often puzzling, and there are times when we cannot be sure whether the hero or the villain of a story is a man or an animal.
Often enough, of course, the purpose of the tale is to relate how the animal gained its special characteristics and changed from a two-legged mammal to a bird, a lizard, or an animal. More important still is the connection with the origins of totemism, which was such an important feature of family and tribal life.

11 AUG – DREAMINGS HAUTE VOLTIGE AIR MUSICAL - UNE PREMIERE EUROPEENNE
En dépit de la température atteignant les 44°
Celsius à l'intérieur de la tour de contrôle
(rendons grâce à l'attitude si coopérative
des contrôleurs militaires et du directeur des vols qui
ont su diriger avec souplesse un show plutôt complexe),
les spectateurs se sont rendus avec plaisir à Hechtel (B)
et l'Aéroclub de Sanicole.
Dans
l'après-midi, "Dreamings" était présenté pour la première fois à
un public Européen, et pour marquer
l'occasion, un Alpha Jet de l'Armée de l'Air Belge exécuta
une spectaculaire ouverture du show avec son "vol du dauphin".
Un vol tout à fait approprié puisque Mandurah le
Dauphin est le héros de l'histoire, et que l'Alpha Jet
a on ne peut plus le profil de l'animal...
En outre, les quatre Albatros L39 de l'équipe Breitling
(Apache Aviation) ont élégamment rejoint le tableau
en complément de nos champions de voltige, des ULM et des
avions anciens.
Almadrava, les compositeurs espagnols de la musique, étaient
sur les lieux pour admirer 26 pilotes de 9 pays différents
voler sur leur oeuvre, réhaussée par la voix magnifique
du conteur flamand...
Grâce à l'habileté et au professionalisme
des pilotes, l'histoire fut merveilleusement choréographiée,
avec parfois 10 avions impliqués dans la même scène,
et ce dans l'environnement le plus respectueux de la sécurité
des vols.
Au milieu des brillants vols de démonstrations du F16 ou
du Tornado, et de l'exceptionnelle performance de la Patrouille
de France, Haute Voltige et son "Air Musical" sont fiers
d'avoir suscité un intérêt similaire du public
pour les performances d'avions "légers", prouvant
ainsi la réalité d'une nouvelle approche pour de
nouveaux types de spectacles aériens.
Merci à Gilbert Buekenberghs, l'organisateur et heureux
directeur de l'Aéroclub de Sanicole, un lieu extraordinaire
pour accueillir des événements aériens uniques
et originaux.
Le prochain événement "Haute Voltige"
aura lieu à Twin Ring Motegi, Japon, du 31 Octobre au 02
Novembre...

22 AUG – PROCHAIN EVENEMENT - 19eme FAI WORLD GRAND PRIX
2003 Haute Voltige Aerobatics Japan Grand Prix
Twin Ring Motegi 31 Octobre - 02 Novembre
11 SEP – ILS SONT LES MEILLEURS ET ILS PEUVENT LE PROUVER !
Tous les vainqueurs du Championnat de Monde 2003 participeront
au 2003 Haute Voltige Aerobatics Japan Grand Prix:
Svetlana KAPANINA,
la meilleure femme pilote de voltige de tous les temps, classée
seconde toutes catégories (oui, hommes inclus!). Championne
du Monde pour la 4ème fois (1996, 1998, 2001, 2003) elle
est sans précédent dans l'histoire de la voltige.
Certes, Betty Stewart (USA, en 1980 et 1982) et Catherine Maunoury
(FRA, en 1988 et 2000) ont été deux fois Championnes
du Monde chez les femmes, et Petr Jirmus (CZE) deux fois chez
les hommes. Mais seule Svetlana Kapanina a atteint le record de
4 titres au classement general, et ce n'est probablement pas fini.
Sergey RAKHMANIN,
Champion du Monde 2003 toutes catégories et Alexander KROTOV, médaille
d'argent dans la catégorie hommes.
Viktor TCHMAL (Champion
du Monde 1996) et Mikhail MAMISTOV (Champion du Monde 2001) gagnent le titre du Libre Intégral.
Svetlana FEDORENKO,
médaille de bronze chez les femmes.
Si l'on ajoute les stars de la voltige que sont Klaus SCHRODT, Champion du Monde
Libre Intégral 2001, Peter BESENYEI,
Champion du Monde Libre Intégral 2000, Jurgis KAIRYS et Nikolay TIMOFEEV, Haute Voltige ne pouvait présenter au public de
talents plus extrêmes pour les vols les plus excitants.
Tous sont des champions sportifs qui sont également de
brillants pilotes de démonstration et de spectacle. Ils
peuvent le prouver.
17 SEP – LES
