MONO-NO AWARE is a poetic performance developed by the actress Irmena Chichikova, and her brother, director and screenwriter Yordan Chichikov; their artistic and personal seekings lead us into the world of ‘The Pillow Book’. Its author, Sei Shonagon, is one of the most prominent representatives of the Japanese female literary history. The two siblings, alongside the composer Dimitar Bodurov, will immerse us into the secrecy of unknown lands, for us to find ourselves anew: through our strive for beauty, through the wonders of life’s pure simplicity, through the charming depth of human sadness. Music, spoken word and cinema will together provoke our attention towards, and enjoyment of the passing life. An invitation to art and mysticism, a craving for a time passed, kept alive only through the shared sensation. Or in the words of Sei Shonagon: I love listening to music in the late hours, when people’s faces cannot be seen.
