Details

Three ultra-contemporary pieces which flash between the sublime and the violent. Street dance and Japanese Butoh combine in a radically iminmalist aesthetic, featuring fluid elegance and sudden shock waves of movement. In each work, Umeda's extraordinary actions appear within an environment of sparse, dramatic lighting, strobing cyber-imagery, electronic beats and crackling digital soundscapes. Drawing on his contemporary Japanese roots he explores the disorientation and chaos of life in the big city. Running time 70 minutes inclu. interval. UK Premiere
