In Japanese, «Hakanai» means «impermanent, fragile, evanescent, transitory, and fleeting», somewhere between dream and reality. This very ancient word also captures an elusive aspect of the human condition and its precariousness, but also grounded in nature. It’s written by combining the graphic characters symbolizing «man» and «dream». This symbolic association is the starting point for a dancer who will face images revealing what lies on the brink of imagination and reality.
In the live composition of images and sounds in a 360° projection, the French artists Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne create a world between reality and fiction.
After the performance the audience is invited to discover the stage installation.
