Outline

A premiere of a new piece by C/Ompany directed by Shintaro Oue. “Boléro,” composed by Mourice Ravel, is the title of the piece and it is a popular music many people have listened to. It has a melody that seems growing endlessly. Although it’s quite simple, it has a discipline created by the conductor and orchestra and a mathematical play. Using all the elements and transmit them to the body, C/Ompany creates a piece composed of trilogy that begins from three paths. Also, they aim to create a new category of performing arts called “Dansu” (it means to talk and pronounced as same as “dance” in Japanese).
