The spread of virtual reality, Romain Timmers confesses, scares him a little. A performance artiste who trained for 10 years in ballet and music theory, he now manipulates objects in motion. There is an old-world charm to his art — a mix of skill and movement. On the Bonjour India 2022 tour, Timmers’ new production, Analemma, showcases this contemporary and unique art form.

The title, he reveals, comes from the asymmetrical infinity symbol that can be traced in the sky based on the sun’s annual movement. The Pondicherry-based Timmers says, “The sun is the first cause of life.” Its movement served the inspiration for tonight’s act, put up together with Sharanya Rao, a movement trainer, at the G5A Warehouse.
