RUNA
Tales from another world, from another time. In this chaotic landscape, two humans investigate the rubble, trying to reimagine and reconnect with what once was. They intuit the essence of the past, transforming these ruins into allies, engaging in games to grasp the nature of reality. Runa highlights the beauty of this fragile past and searches for what little remains of it for us to hold on to in the present. Through abstract movement and a profound embodiment of dimensions and weight, these characters bring us back to the core of our existence: beings shaped by the relentless passage of time. With the rune etched in our minds, how do we move forward?
