Business Overview

This project examines the flexible and strong Indonesian physical culture, and through joint work between Indonesia and Japan, explores the shape of the next generation of Asian bodies, which are based on the search for a fusion of tradition and modernity. Furthermore, it brings together artists who are active at the forefront of the visual field, music, and dance, and creates a new form of contemporary art. This is the 4th movie in the "To Belong" series that began in 2012. By developing a long-term plan of continuous cultural exchange, performing arts activities and partnerships with Asian artists, each year new artists are invited and experimental trials are conducted.
