Arakawa + Gins Tokyo office is pleased to announce the World Premier of “Puzzle Creature” by Neon Dance, to be held on September 15 & 16 at Kamigo Clove Theater as one of the highlights of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2018.
Puzzle Creature, a term coined by Arakawa + Gins, refers to an organism’s constant questioning of its existence and surroundings; “Who or what are we as this species? Puzzle creatures to ourselves, we are visitations of inexplicability” – Madeline Gins and Arakawa, Architectural Body.
Through its diverse meditations on this broader question of being in the world, Neon Dance has created a beautiful and engaging work that leads us on an unforgettable journey of exploration.
A new multi-disciplinary dance work inspired by the death-eluding architecture designs of Arakwara and Madeline Gins. Three exquisite dance artists drive this 60-minute performance with wearable artefacts created by the award winning artist Ana Rajcevic forming curious imprints of choreographed action.
Puzzle Creature is accompanied by a newly commissioned score for 8 speakers by Oxford based composer Sebastian Reynolds, the work features integrated British and Japanese Sign Language and audio description from Louise Fryer.
Organisms that person (you and I) are invited to step inside an inflatable set design by Numen / For Use as the black box theatre is transformed into a unique immersive space shared by both audience and performer.
