Dance Company Nomade~s
Toki-no-hana - Flowers and Time -
JCDN
© Daido Hiroyasu
World Premiere. This is an exciting, contemporary dance that vividly reflects modern society, addressing the theme of flowers and time―the classic Japanese language of seasons and weather. We are in a forest, sent from the future. We see disconnection, fear and despair. But even here we witness an outbreak of dance, of mysterious movements with bodies held low that after a time evolve into quirky, humorous actions, before giving way to serene space. Supple movements of bodies on the floor gain in strength and speed. A reanimation of unfulfilled moments…torn petals…weakened time…broken flowers.

Kakuya Ohashi and Dancers
Chain of Clarity Special version
Kakuya Ohashi and Dancers
The objective of OHASHI Kakuya and Dancers is the exploration of ways of bodily being in modern society. This search resonates with Carlos Castaneda's work "The Teachings of Don Juan" in its consideration of "fear," "clarity," "strength," and "age," which serve as themes in the troupe's work. There are twelve three-part pieces in total, which together could be regarded as OHASHI Kakuya's life work. In these works "clarity" is a weapon for modern people, a way of living, something necessary to be in the present. Comparative analysis along these three lines is the main thrust of the pieces. The themes that premiered in "Clarity is Only a Point before the eyes" are taken up and continued in "Clarity."

Its original set, props and costume generate the unique space, and the performers and the puppets cross each other to produce the distorted shrinking world. This work’s theme is ‘nothingness’.

In Himeji of Banshu, there is a castle, like a white bird about to take flight. The wall plasters of the five layer castle tower, glow white and beautiful. There, the flowers and butterflies in every color flutter and dance, and there, sits a carving of a brave lion’s head ---. It is our second staging of a piece written by IZUMI Kyoka, following our first performance of “Demon’s Pond” which received brilliant remarks. We will present the world of splendor, expressing the aesthetics of Kyoka’s mysterious profundity in KADEN’s original style of “Japanese Beauty”.

Since their founding, OM-2 has always been experimental, avant-garde, as well as being highly acclaimed overseas. Their recent works have removed all scripts, rehearsals consist of practicing improvisations, the final works not repeats of last evening's, but always different. Denying interpretation, explanation & analysis by words, continuously fighting with the inner self. "Opus No.5" was performed last fall in Berlin, Prague and Shanghai, changing shape per city, its triumphal return to Tokyo will show another form, a new shape.

Pappa TARAHUMARA
THREE SISTERS
Pappa TARAHUMARA
Contemporary dance-theatre company, Pappa TARAHUMARA, adapts Anton Chekov’s literary classic to the context of the Japanese countryside in the 1960s. Its seemingly sweet portrayal of three bored sisters grapping with womanhood spirals in to a sensual and charged meditation on female identity, coming-of age and the Japanese obsession with youth culture. This eccentric comic tragedy, narrated through dynamic choreography, is a powerfully condensed alternative to the company’s larger-scale multi-disciplinary works.

Under The Skirt Show
ティーファクトリー
NAGATA Emi presents, "Under The Skirt Show," a performance that mixes myth, family-history, war and truth to practical purpose. Her re-creation of a gypsy band from the steppes of Manchuria and telling while maintaining complete attention, deflects the original use of an illegal diamond trade where the monies raised went to fund intrigue. Emi uses heirloom props and oral traditions as she invites the audience to return to the grandmother's era while speaking of dreams made flesh. Her current re-adaptation is a variation of a similar performance done in Golden Gai in the 1970's.

"Theatre possesses a special kind of magic, that of transformation. And this is a company that has this magic in abundance." said Iqubal KHAN, a British director. Theatre Moments made Oscar Wilde’s "Happy Prince" into a stage which interested the audience from various generations and different backgrounds. Actors’ bodies and many unique ideas of using props created a variety of characters, animals and even plants on the stage. The consequence is a total theatre which pursues an ultimate goal of theatre, giving a great pleasure of imagination to the audience.

5-String Woodbass Solo Performance
水野俊介
5-string woodbass solo performance. It has a wide range ability, because it has 5 strings. The sound is very simple, but it is beyond the category and has many music factors. So the audience can enjoy this new sound. The songs are mostly originals for the nature programs of TV and arranged classic and ethnic music.
