Daruma is devoted to chance – to the miracles that the wind can bring, to the unknown, to the ways in which events miraculously and unexpectedly coincide. “Fluke” or “luck”, the inevitable risk of chance – these are the forces that remain unpredictable, but which affect us most strongly. They are the knot in which the logical and the miraculous intertwine. When chance unfolds in its most exciting, most beautiful forms, it also unlocks the ability to trace causal relationships where they aren’t apparent at first glance and where they don’t always take the forms that are familiar to us.
Daruma is a Metheor production supported by Sofia Municipality, Bulgaria’s Ministry of Culture, and ЕU-Japan Fest. In 2021 Metheor was supported by the National Culture Fund.
