SOOTHING MEDITATION
2023, 15'
No Dialogue
Start your day with a moment of peace and tranquility with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. A wholly calming experience.

The word "sen" has several meanings in Japanese. It is a number, a symbol of wisdom, but also a reference to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Switch yourself off from the world for a moment and enter this perfectly reconstructed historic tea house (Tai-an) where you will be served a bowl of Black Raku tea. With its subdued atmosphere, in the company of a number of guests, you gradually enter a dreamlike world where you will encounter magical creatures. In this calming cocoon, take a moment to breathe, meditate and recharge before returning to the outside world.
