Business Overview

In "Single Knots," three contemporary dancers set the stage in Nishi-Koyama, using jazz music to express human relationships such as encounters and conflicts that might occur in the streets. In the modern age, where relationships between people have become less and less interpersonal, the hard knots of individuals often stand out. He expressed his hope that if he untied the knot and interacted with people, he would draw unexpected curves and create new connections.
