Business Overview
Norihito Ishii: choreography duo "JAPAN DANCE WEEK “Nights of the Rising Sun”" SAMON will be performed in Tel Aviv in September as an invited performance of the Suzanne Delard Center (Israel) 25 year anniversary project. The title "SAMON" means "samon." At the base of the production of Ishii's works was the concept of "bodies living in modern society and the insanity and eros that reside in them," and he created his works with the aim of making this sound universally and beautifully like ripples, and leaving a rough trace of sand like a sand crest in the mind of the audience. This refers to the mass exhalation (energy) of the body generated from the sound framing of street dance, the three-dimensional dancing physicality of contemporary dance, and the energy exuding from the world of the dancing body. The game consists of these three elements. Choreography: Norihito Ishii Performance: Norihito Ishii Yoko Koike Festival Organizer: Suzanne Delard Center
