Review of the play

Inspired by the song "The Last News" by the Japanese poet, Yosuie Inonue, it is a choreography composed of two dances, DEAD 1 and ANOXIA. Premiered at the Teatro La Castellana on November 22th 2011 in Bogotá, with presentations in different theaters and unconventional spaces such as: Municipal Theater of the City of Sogamoso, Performance Festival "Fall and Recovery ·" held at the MAMBO Bogota Museum of Modern Art, Sextante Gallery, "Me Gusta" Festival of the Casa Ensamble, Bogota's District Libraries: Tunal, Tintal and Virgilio Barco, Salitre Plaza Shopping Center, and Festival of Alternative Theater of Bogotá 2012.Cultural Center Cervantes Tokyo and Out Side Festival Yokohama 2013.

Theme: The conception of the play (Text by Ko Murobushi)

 

" The body is abandoned, locked and circumcised. Because of this, human being will always be a foreign country. Our encounters are determined by destiny ... We are the cut, we are dancers of the edge that finally crash and become a thousand pieces. The body as such - stripped of all meaning - can not be named, but appears as a mere figure, created by himself: a double of the body beyond all time limits. Just like a joke . "


Sponsorship: Manusdea Antropología Escénica and K-Kunst, The Saison Foundation.
