A
two part interdisciplinary performance work created by Japanese
choreographer/ Butoh dancer Yuko Kaseki (Japan/Germany) and American
visual artist / choreographer/dancer Isak Immanuel (US) in
collaboration with performer Roland Walter (Germany), Macoto Inagawa
and Hikaru Inagawa (Japan/Germany), musician Kazuhisa Uchihashi
(Japan/Germany), and others.
Architecture of absence/ANICONIC
engaging various personal and
religious relationships to image, iconoclasm,
and the making of
place. Differing quotidian bodies and the allegories of
“Ten ox
herding pictures” and "Blind men and an Elephant" act as
touchstones.
Questions of consciousness, stability, and perception are
created,
represented, broken, erased, and re-drawn. Movement develops in
contrast to iconic still tableaus and their ability to reflect on
precarious notions of a “soul” or ideas of “presence”. Central
engagements are the human body as an object, ideas of spirituality,
animism, and a basic premise that sometimes such things as a brick, a
tree, wood, or a lamp, may have a more pronounced sense of a “soul”
then a human being. Here, the setting of a scene, the given
environment
or landscape and its makeup, is filled with questions of
presence, memory,
and an unsettled occupancy.
