A mystical ceremony is conducted to honor and nurture a rare species that blooms only once a year . The ritual is following a lifetime of the "Creation" that appears for these fleeting moments of the night .

“Création Nocturne” is a participatory performance that invites the visitors to study and reflect on the causes of existential terror-induced insomnia through meditative interaction with a didactic interface. Developed within the framework of Focus Oriented Art therapy (FOAT), it explores the potential of interactive art in psychological practices. “Création Nocturne” is an open performance ; Therefore, visitors are welcome to join at any time and stay as long as they wish.
