HAKANAI | Digital Arts & Dance Performance
In Japanese, Hakanaï refers to what is impermanent, fragile, evanescent, temporary. It's the starting point for this performance in which a dancer moves inside a gigantic cube onto which videos are projected and manipulated live by a digital performer. The sounds, also produced live, participate to the creation of an interactive environment that evokes in turn a bedroom, a cage, the inner world and radical alterity, thus conveying a poetic space outside of time.
Through their company Adrien M / Claire B, Adrien Mondot -- multidisciplinary artist, computer engineer and juggler -- and Claire Bardainne -- visual artist, set designer and graphic designer -- are looking to create digital works that are alive, mobile, organic, ephemeral and sensitive.
