Outline

Triangle was invited to perform a work at a festival in Washington DC.
By showing the work “resonance,” previously performed in Japan by Triangle (comprising Suzuka Nakanishi and Naoya Sakata) at an overseas festival, the unit’s aim was the opportunity this presented to exchange new opinions and encounter new values through exposure to people with diverse roots.
Based on these values, Triangle’s aim is to create new works by respecting current and existing trends in Japan while at the same time always and unreservedly asking questions.
