Performance synopsis
The performance was inspired by the liminal experience of meeting two cultures in one consciousness, and displacing one by the Other. In a small Japanese village amongst wildlife, during the practice of body work and dance, deities and unusual creatures appeared on the border of consciousness combining the symbolism of two cultures. It was the experience of a ‘dreaming body’, a journey deep into oneself, mind-body in itself, and crossing the boundaries of its formation by one’s own culture.
