Laugh Box

Overview

It has been 53 years since I graduated university. I laugh once or twice a day, so in total I have laughed nearly 40,000 times.
I think about packing all those laughs into a casket and travelling with them to the other world. (Wakamatsu)
This is an essay-dance by Wakamatsu, an advocate of free dance. It begins with a dance in front of a Jizo statue, followed by singing and poetry recitation. The disciples sing in chorus in the audience and in the backyard.
'It's not just about singing and dancing, it's also about the struggles of life. A bricolaged body with something to say.'
In the sunset, one dances.
