Business Overview
This work focuses on "the physicality of a person who dies by himself" and deals with the unstable "state" of me/us who are torn between the two poles of "control" and "freedom" in society/community. Instead of putting these situations into the framework of demonstration and providing answers in response to these questions, or running away from them, I tried to search for a "middle sphere" between the two poles of conflict in physical experimentation and the creation of images. A new performance created by 17 performers, the largest number for a group.

Profile
[Water Glasses ∞]
Water Glasses ∞ was formed in 2011 by a group of choreographers, dancers, filmmakers and visual designers. At present, he is involved in planning and producing stage and video works and client work such as music video choreography. Its director, Ayane NAKAGAWA, is characterized by a style that, while based on "dancing," uses theatrical techniques and direction to make simple ideas and fragments of images dance, raising the limits of the viewer's imagination in a way that is similar to science fiction. In recent years, Nakagawa has been highly praised for his "my choice, my body," which attempts to connect the form and aesthetics of traditional performing arts with the context of contemporary dance. He has also been trying to develop practical concepts unique to Nakagawa, who studied classical ballet and Japanese dance since childhood and spent his adolescence between tabi socks and toe shoes, such as the project Shiki, which creates a neutral site of collaboration with masters of Japanese dance.
