About the Event
Hakanaï is a solo choreographic performance that unfolds through a series of images in motion. In Japanese, Hakanaï denotes that which is temporary and fragile, evanescent and transient, and in this case, something set between dreams and reality. The dancer gives life to a space somewhere between the borders of imagination and reality, through interactions with the images encountered. The images are on-stage animations that move in physical patterns according to the rhythm of the live sounds that is followed. The performance’s outcome is the revelation of a digital installation to its audience.
For the first time, Indian dancer Priyabrata Panigrahi has been trained by French dancer Virginie Barjonet to interpret this choreography. The training session, from May to November 2017, will transmit the capacity to interact with a digitally created environment and showcase this innovative performance.
