Business Overview
This is a research project with 11 dancers. Each dancer will conduct research using Ko Murofushi's texts and videos in the archive and talk with researchers for two weeks, and at the same time, present their work in progress. In 6 months, 11 people will perform, a video screening of Ko Murofushi will be held, and an open discussion will be held to reflect on the nature of archives and the new meaning of "succession." Of the 11 dancers, 7 were scheduled to appear in Ko Murofushi's choreography "Midnight Nijinski," and 1 was a student in an Imple Stunts research class. Emmanuel Yuin, Nuno Bizarro, and Bernardo Monte, who are friends and good supporters of Ko Murofushi, plan to use this project as an opportunity to continue responding to Murofushi.

Profile
[Ko&Edge]
Following the death of Ko Murobushi, the organization was established in 2015 to organize archives and related projects.
Following on from Ko Murobushi's project "A Thousand and One Nights Outside," the group has planned and implemented research seminars both in Japan and overseas as "Wandering Archive." It has also published "Murobushi Ko Collected Works" through Kawade Shobo Shinsha as a publishing project. Going forward, the group plans to continue discussions with France and Germany regarding publications. In 2019, the Archive Café will be relocated to Vienna for one month during the ImPulsTanz festival, where various projects are planned, including the re-announcement of this creation and the continuation of "Wandering Archive."
