■Outline

A new dance performance by Jean-Baptiste André, a former circus student who attracted the audience's attention with his acrobatic movements in Philippe Decoufle's "IRIS", the first piece that was conceived and performed at YCAM after the Center's opening in 2003 before being shown for two consecutive seasons at the Thatre National de Chaillot (France).
André's performance, realized with the refined physical ability of a gymnast, was the first occasion for Takamasa AOKI, a pioneer of new Japanese electronic music who has been participating in such international events as Barcelona's "Sonar", to produce an original soundtrack for a dance performance. Also involved on the visual side is Noriko MATSUMOTO, who worked as an assistant in "IRIS".
Together with these two artists from different genres, André spent one month in Yamaguchi, and created an original piece based on video and audio recordings of land- and soundscapes in Yamaguchi.


This is a proposal to refer to reasons for existence for different phenomena, concepts to conceive identity and things, and mysteries we have in this world.
While absorbed in quiet realities, time to think about different phenomena and space to dream, this work explores hidden faces of things.
There are always things to be exposed in each individual under the same circumstances in the same reality.
How shall we expose them?

Jean-Baptiste André
