FY2025 1st Startup Grant

Business Overview

"Inner Frontier City Side Stream 'Scene Singing Riverbed'" is a dance performance by Yubaisha Yuko, and it is a work that was premiered in response to the Startup Grant of Arts Council Tokyo. The cast is Keiko Yumaisha and Tamako Yubaisha. This work was created with a focus on "Kawahara" as an "awai" where multi-layered boundaries overlap, such as the other shore and this shore, ancestors and descendants, cities and nature, and people and abnormal beings. The signs of life from the source and the memories of dances once spun by entertainers are evoked in the body, and they are reconnected to the present while swirling like the sound of things. The space of the riverbed, which dances as if to embrace the ripples of shadows, the feathers of life, and the visible and invisible beings, and harbors a quiet and bustling atmosphere, emerges as a place to accept the dance and appearance of life.
