Business Overview
"TANGLE" is a stage performance of dance and music based on international cultural exchange through the co-production of other genres by young Japanese and French artists. Both dance and violin are a fusion of traditional and modern techniques and share the latest art of the time. This is an opportunity for Japanese children to casually experience performing arts and to appreciate the cultural exchange between Japanese and French artists. The theme of the work is the relationship, mutuality, and cooperation of things, and it gives children an opportunity to learn through viewing the work. It is an opportunity to see the potential of dance to combine physical training and art. Arts such as contemporary dance and violin, which are often thought to have high formality and threshold, are fused with street dance and electronic music to make them feel more familiar and present creativity that is not bound by the frame. Of the three events scheduled to be held, there will be one day for preschoolers to enter and one day for after-talks to reconfirm the theme and message and to give hope to the international activities of the next generation of artists.

Profile
[Kinetic Art]
Formed in 2011 by Japanese break dancers who pursue creativity and uniqueness in body expression. It is named "Moving Art" = "Kinetic Art" based on the contact dance that combines each individual's individuality with the acrobatic movement that utilizes the flexible body.
Respecting the freedom of street culture, which is the backbone of dance, they work with the aim of communicating to the world the importance of identity formation and self-expression common to all arts, and the social nature of dance.
