Constant balancing between reality and virtuality gives a sense of an unreal relaxation. This fuzzy notion of a hybrid reality redefines the state of balance (ZEN) and allows for a free choice between different conceptions of the ego. Refusal to prioritize one of the worlds gives the impression of an infinity of variants of being, accompanied by a belief in liberation and control over one’s destiny. During the performance, a VR immersion becomes a pretext to ask questions of the performer’s body and the nature of reality. Is the place where we are real? Is the event real? The available image fails to explain anything, as it is merely seeking inspiration in the reality and extends it by placing the spectator squarely within the found world, as one of its constituent elements that is nevertheless expected to address this complex issue.
