The life of Hokusai

The life, passion and spirit of Hokusai. The Life of Hokusai tells the intimacy of Japanese master Katsushika Hokusai in a non-verbal performance blending traditional Japanese music, martial arts performances and digital projections.

After a stroke and loss of everything in a fire, Hokusai paints with indomitable energy. The sudden death of his wife Koto confronts him with the meaning of his life and art.

On stage, dragons and Mount Fuji landscapes come to life, revealing a bold and passionate painter, for an immersive, poetic and emotional experience. Opening act: Maelstrom / Maël Péneau * Duration: 1 hour. Artist in residence. Creating.
