The Japanese artist Daito Manabe, a regular at Sónar, has a mesmerizing power. Through sound and screens (the six vertical ones and the horizontal one that governs the stage + D), he places the spectators in front of him and paralyzes them, subdues them. Music and video come together for a potion that makes up a ‘performance’ that the large audience that the Japanese brought together felt like a visual experience. In the middle of an immobile public, a boy moves abruptly following the spasmodic rhythm at which the blue monster that is projected on the screen grows. Around him, everything is still, except for the images that evolve without stopping.
