Light is born of darkness.
From one infinite to another, from black to white, LUMEN is a journey that plays with the perceptions of the spectators, between what they imagine and what can be seen. Thirteen dancers, first revealed in the reflection of a giant mirror over them, compose an intriguing choreographic tableau, stimulating the need to interpret what appears to the eye. Horizons fade, perspective is distorted – everything is done to disturb the perception of reality.
LUMEN immerses spectators in an introspective and visual experience where darkness gradually fades to become white, blinding light.
