Takami & MoBu Dance Group collaborate with Kana Tanaka (glass installation artist) and Jorge Bachmann (sound artist) to transform Project Artaud Theater into a magical realm wherein the audience is invited to question reality and the nature of truth. 
 
Takami states "the word 'illusion' has many interpretations, the first being a false idea or belief.  In our lives, what we hold to be the truth that which we want to believe in our relationships and everyday life - often turns out to be false, or based more in fantasy than reality.  Sometimes we even want something to be true so badly that we begin to believe it...if we repeat it over and over, truth ceases to be an illusion, and in effect, becomes more real than truth itself.  Indeed, illusion is often more comfortable and less frightening than reality."
