Business Overview
Akira Kasai's masterpiece, "Hen Renpaku" (Pollen Revolution), which was first performed at the Theater Tram (Tokyo) in April 2001 and then repeatedly performed in cities around the world, will be re-performed in the body of Zuijo Kasai this time. Every time "Hen Revolution" is performed, the direction and choreography are modified, and the work has become mature. The aim is to pass on this completed work to the next generation of artists and presenters, and to contribute to the succession and development of Japanese performing arts. In the contemporary dance world in Japan, there are still few works in the repertoire, and this performance aims to be a model.

[Kei Kasai]
After meeting Kazuo ONO in 1963 and Tatsumi HIJIKATA in 64, he started his activities as a dancer. He presented many solo dance works mainly in Japan, and founded Tenjikan in 1971. Many dancers such as Setsuko YAMADA and Kota YAMAZAKI were born from this school. In 1979, he went to Germany to study at the Eulytomeum Stuttgart. After returning to Japan, he performed various oilutomies. He returned to the dance world in 94 with "Serafieta". In addition to her own solo performances, she choreographed dancers who represent Japanese contemporary dance such as Kuniko Kisanuki, Kim Ito, Naoko Shirakawa and Ikuyo Kuroda, and one of the world's leading ballets, Farf Ruzimatov. He actively performed overseas in North America, South America, Europe and Korea. He continues his own creative activities as both a dancer and a choreographer, without being bound by genres such as dance, modern dance, contemporary dance, and eulogy.
