The legend has it that long ago, a hunter walked alone into the mountains to hunt. Unexpectedly, he encountered a sudden downpour. The hunter wandering in the forest discovered a giant tree hollow in which he seeked shelter from the heavy rain. The hunter fell asleep while waiting for the rain to stop. Not knowing how long he has slept, the hunter woke up and heard birds chirping and insects buzzing. He walked out from the tree hollow and found himself in a fascinating forest where everything seemed to sparkle. He has lost in the forest where suddenly he came upon a group of naked people who embraced each other in intimate manners. The hunter took a closer look and found that they were all male but look like gorgeous women. The hunter inquires, “What are you?” The group answered, “We are Hagay.” The Hagay began to communicate with the hunter, and he learned from them much valuable wisdom concerning rituals, hunting and weaving. The hunter sensed that he was not in the real world and fell asleep again. When he woke up, he found himself back in the tree hollow and the rain had stopped. As he came out of the hollow, it was the forest he had entered. He could not tell whether he was dreaming or if he had been to the spiritual world and back… Back to the tribe, the hunter adopted what Hagay had taught him and continued to share their wisdom. From this time on, when men who also possess female traits are born in the world, people address them as Hagay….

Combining forest wandering and dream awakening with rituals, chants, dances and science fiction, HAGAY DREAMING is a techno-fantasia guided theatre of revival that explores Technoshamanism and Gaya principles. Launching a discourse on the diversified nature of genders in primeval states, it negotiates the conflict between tribal tradition keepers and the defiant young generations. Through this production, HAGAY DREAMING opens up a dialogue between technology and humanities, and a way for tradition and modernity to coexist and thrive.
