Business Overview

[Spatial Art Exhibition] The work "Tenka" expresses the passage of time from life to death using the daily change/deterioration of about 300 live roses hanging from the ceiling. Materials that change such as deterioration and drying (fresh flowers, etc.) and materials that contrast like artificial ones (artificial flowers, etc.) are used for the exhibited works. [Dance] "Gando no Niwa" dance will be performed under the exhibits. He uses the body as a shell and transforms it into various things to express' the view of life and death 'and' the decay of life. '. It is a work in which the choreography of buto 'Gando no Niwa' has already been completed, and the performer approaches the stage with a physicality that is not affected by music. This is a physical expression of the unchanging. The co-stars change daily. The co-stars watch a silent video of the choreography in advance. There is no joint rehearsal and the performance is highly improvised. In addition, the audience reads the butohu, which is distributed after the performance, to help them understand the world of buto and understand the work.
