Resonance: A Return from Chaos

Overview

Namerikawa Goro Dance Art Recital. Namerikawa creates an impressive stage environment by incorporating the audience as part of the set. In this solo performance, the audience was given short iron bars named "tetsubiko" [iron vibrations] upon entering the venue, which they strike in unison midway through the performance. The stage floor is covered with metal plates, and Namerikawa’s body interacts and resonates with various stage props, including a motorised top that emits noise as it spins, as well as silver springs and steel plates that are suspended from above.

The flyer reads: "Resonance is the path that leads from chaos to the creation of all life and matter in this world..."
