Event
Performance
Solo performance at Indexical (Santa Cruz) on March 6 2026, sharing the evening with Tatsuya Nakatani (doors at 8pm, show at 8:30pm). As I see the moon in the night's darkness which receives the light from the sun, the earth changing the light's shape with its shadow, I am continuing to think about light and darkness, lines and shape. Two years ago, I started to consider the shape of the moon as a membrane of stories and between in and out. Now, after some projects, the swaying line and rings of moonlight makes me think about soul and wounds, and humans' eyes. What if love and darkness are at the same level, even somewhere close, and injuries are so close to loving and recovery. I will present a new work "Breath in this World" for sung and spoken voice and body, with a membrane and shape.
