"Side by side on a wire, between the two, a sheet of paper, very thin."30 June 2007
This performance plunges us into a universe of strange poetry haunted by shadows whose movements play with the silhouette of a dancer in a trance.

The haunting music suspends time. Kami Hitoé is a tensioning of the body and the imagination.
