◆Performances
This work deals with the body of a dancer obsessed with dancing as the pole of a social body that is feeling more and more absent due to the Corona disaster. Does the absence of the body mean that the dancer is no longer needed? This time, Mariko Kakizaki will double as a cast member.
and asks what value can be found in the inevitability of dancers who continue to dance in this day and age.
