Between seeing and being seen, the real and the virtual, A Sensation of a Truth deals with the perception of oneself in relation to the etiquettes attached to it. Scrutinizing the opacity of people’s gaze, the performance infiltrates their trajectories and explores their distance and immediacy. Their perception becomes an intimate common experience while the invisible is made visible. The performance exposes the way being watched affects our behavior. It decodes hatred and turns the necessity to identify racism and homophobia into a survival strategy.

Kévin Bonono, born in 1992 in Amiens, France, subsequently moved to Cameroon, his country of origin, where he lived 12 years. Currently based in Berlin. In 2015 Kévin started his artistic formation, investigating in the field of dance and performing art; collaborating with artists such as Federica Dauri, Stefano Taiuti, Danilo Colonna, Isabel Lewis and many others, while focusing on improving his technical and compositional methodology. His previous works include ENIGMA, investigating the power of rituals and Instinct, analyzing the emotional and physical reaction of the body in the state of emergency. Bonono, in his performative research, investigates and questions himself on his surroundings; a research on his own intimacy and on his interpretation and relationship with the outside world.
