IMA (Pray) is an immersive theatrical experience elevating cirque danse, the genre created by Recirquel to a whole new level: it invites the audience into a 360-degree space reminiscent of sacred places, where we participate in an extraordinary ritual guided by a non-gender defined performer, who becomes a 21st century shaman. Religions, beliefs are distant matters in the infinity of IMA’s universal space, and only the human soul is in the focus of attention.
IMA is a 40-minute show performed by one artist at a time for an audience of 60-200. The vision when creating this immersive experience was to become a hub, where people living in overcrowded cities can have access to a quiet, tranquil space to connect to their very being through a unique meditation. A stage version of the original concept has been developed, after set-up we can have 5-10 performances a day.
