Synopsis

Forget about past lives! This magical temple is known for giving you a glimpse of what your future incarnation will be like. Six persons, connected together through the metaverse, enter an ancient Buddhist temple. Each of your avatars bears a color you use to bring back some life to the ruined temple. Unknowingly, you are drawing together, drawing a mandala of light, a unique and ephemeral combination of your movements and choices. The mandala rekindles the magic of the temple, and brings to life a very mischievous monkey, both a prankster and a wise philosopher. He will take you along the path of his very own buddhist philosophy, bringing you to open- up, reflect on your present life and ultimately put your courage to the test.

Director’s Statement

Mandala is a spiritual journey into chinese mythology. It combines the pleasure of a collaborative creation with the immersion in the realm of fantasy creatures. Its unique format, a very intimate 6-persons interactive experience with a live performer, allows for a combination of story-telling tools, social situations and cues, personal dilemmas and moral conundrums, to craft a very special journey for each participant. Every show is unique, a brief moment in time spent with strangers, with virtual friends, just passing by.
