Hiku
ERIC MINH CUONG CASTAING & ANNE-SOPHIE TURION
Performing arts
At the beginning of 2020, Eric Minh Cuong Castaing et Anne-Sophie Turion immersed ourselves in the life of a hikikomori reintegration association and were able to get in touch with some of them.
Between documentary, cinema and choreography, HIKU stages this group of hikikomori in rehabilitation. On stage, recorded material – sound and video shot in Japan – intertwines with live actions; accompanied by performers, three hikikomoris take over the stage remotely from Japan.

Artist
Eric Minh Cuong Castaing and Anne-Sophie Turion (FRA)
Éric Minh Cuong Castaing, choreographer and visual artist, develops shows, performances, films or installations that cross dance and image, calling upon new technologies as new structures of perception. Associating professional dancers and amateur dancers, his ‘In Socius’ projects take shape within specific societal realities, associating institutions outside the field of art (care centers, schools…).
Anne-Sophie Turion declines her appetence for the living and the visual in the form of in-situ interventions, performances and shows. From the black box to the open air, she orchestrates reality into fiction. Seizing with humor the artifices of the theater or the cinema, she makes narratives with apparent cogs: images and scenarios are built live, letting the real life emerge on stage.
