A Vessel of Ruins
Video ID number
V00659
Recording date
November 2010

Overview

Premiered in Tokyo in December 2010. This work presents a stark portrayal of the human condition, severed from the past and adrift in the vague wilderness of modernity. The dance, which evokes destruction and catastrophe, has also been interpreted as a foretelling of the earthquake and nuclear disaster that occurred a few months later. The piece has been performed across Europe, the US, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Mexico, and Indonesia, where its cynical worldview has left a profound impact.
