Of and with Anthony Weiss

The first creation of UNATI invites us to a journey from darkness to light, suffer to its liberation, collapse to hatch, purification to jubilation …

An epic talking about the human being; current, single, singular and collective in search of his way in the meanders of the unconscious. A confrontation, a liberation and a metamorphosis become necessary in order to access the birth into the light; a new self, free from any attachments guiding him towards its freedom.

A new way gets drawn and opens to a transcended primordial departure towards unity ...

Interlacing the aerial acrobatic movement and the dance of Anthony Weiss, the vibrational sound of Josiane Froment and the futuristic light creation of Yann Champelovier, Uman, elevated by a pur and divine love, dives you into the abysses of life for a quest for peace within the light of the being.
