Cultural evening | Requiem for Royan: A mystical story of transformation

A cosmic traveler escapes from a parallel world and arrives in ours, carrying with him the mystery of the beyond. In this new realm, he wanders through a labyrinth of the unknown, confronting the shadows of his past to be reborn as a transformed being. Requiem for Royan is a mystical tale of metamorphosis — a descent into the soul and an ascent toward light.

Throughout this inner odyssey, the protagonist — guided by an angel who touches the ether — crosses the boundaries of time and space, transforming fragility into strength, darkness into awareness, and matter into spirit. Movement, gesture, and voice merge into a ritual of rebirth, where the body becomes sculpture, symbolizing a completed evolution.

The labyrinth, once a place of confusion, turns into a sacred space of revelation. Every encounter, every echo of the former self, becomes a fragment of truth leading toward peace — a harmonious fusion of all that has been. Requiem for Royan is a poetic meditation on transformation, the infinite potential of the human spirit, and the beauty of allowing oneself to change.
