Business Overview
He began by incorporating ballet techniques and other moves that Seki would not normally choose into the material that would become the basis for the dancers' movements. He also created a picture that satirizes "Religions, nations, laws, corporations, money, etc. created by humans are fictitious creations that do not exist in the same way as myths." and kept in mind the idea of historian Yuval Noah Harari that the media reports only part of an incident. In addition, he used strings in his work based on the feeling he got from the research of "Himotree" by Isao Koseki and others. For Seki, the cord was an image of thoughts, rules, certificates, permits, ethnic groups, signs to control others, things to enlarge feelings, creatures of different states and ecology, and tried to make subtle and important changes to the dancers' physical senses when dancing this work. Through this film, I want audiences to experience and imagine whether the world they believe in is really true, and whether what they are seeing is really what they think it is.
