Afternoon Feast

Overview

Directed and choreographed by Orita Katsuko, the piece brings out Izumi Katsushi's dynamic compositional ability, and naïvety. As a dancer who takes seriously the chaos of having both Christ and Judaism coexist in the body, the calm period at the end of a century is paradoxically appropriate for Izumi. Tragedy awaits he who leads the organisation of a Feast, only to have to run through the window on stage. The Feast have only just begun.
