Celebrating its 10th year, the cyberspace activity 10 Moments transcends time and space in leaps and bounds. Challenged only by a slight delay due to online streaming technology, OBORO’s technical wizardry will leave you spellbound with a surprise twist: bamboo flautist Shuni Tsou will be performing in real time in Toronto, with renowned percussionist Ziya Tabassian and the exquisite Indian contemporary dancer Natasha Bakht in Montreal. From vigorous dance steps to the delicate whispers of flutes and drums, the artists’ playfulness will produce illuminating moments through hyper-reality. This performance will be accompanied by the images produced by Mehdi Benboubakeur, a multidisciplinary Algerian-born artist who works with diverse media such as films, video, photos, synthesized images and prints with virtuosity.
