Business Overview
The new performance of NAGME KURASHITSU in 2016 is a modern circus based on juggling and music. After the previous work "Nobody/Watching the end" (2014), which tried to present the 2 interests of the company in juggling as separate works, this time they will challenge the creation of 1 work which reintegrates the viewpoints. Nine performers with various bodies and techniques, such as juggling, aerials, acrobatics and dance, have gathered to create a multi-layered work that transcends genres, aiming to create an authentic contemporary circus work from Japan. Direction and choreography: Yosuke Meguro Music: Hiromichi Sakamoto Art: Takuya Kamiike Cast: Tomohiro Morita (juggling) Rei Miyano (juggling) Aimi Hasegawa (aerial, dance) Kai Taniguchi (acrobat, dance) Hachirou (juggling) Ayuko Nakamura (aerial, dance) Jin Suzuki (juggling) Ako Yasuoka (dance) Yosuke Meguro (juggling) Hiromichi Sakamoto (cello, musicalsaw, electronics) etc.
