Complete version of “border” unveiled!

The Rhizomatiks Research group led by media artists Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi, and director/choreographer MIKIKO’s dance company ELEVENPLAY together present their new collaborative dance performance “border”.

The audience for this piece includes on-stage participants limited to ten persons for each performance. Equipped with a head-mounted display, these participants ride a personal mobility device called “WHILL” that moves around on stage. At the device’s mercy, each participant experiences from an individual point of view a performance in which real-time movements of dancers mix with those of virtual dancers.

After being introduced in a preview performance at Spiral Hall in December 2015, the piece underwent major updates in terms of system and contents during the artists’ residency at YCAM, and is now unveiled at YCAM in its complete version.

Special website

  • WHILL is a product of WHILL, Inc.
  • In addition to the on-stage experience, the performance may also be enjoyed freely from outside the stage.
