Performance synopsis

In Japanese, the word Atsu means pressure and pressure. The basis for the movement in the performance is the Japanese shiatsu massage, where the operator massaging the other person performs choreography over them - which is a ceremony in itself. ATSU is a show that starts with the ceremony of two strangers, down to the roots of the symbolic meaning of everything that surrounds us and that we don't appreciate, and in fact maybe oppresses and keeps us in a mental box?
