TRAJECTORY

Time passes and the sounds that were once words return. Two bodies, seemingly floating in a dream, try to recapture the different stages of a trajectory etched in the light of a white universe. Where did they come from and where are they going? The two bodies, drifting in a blank space that seems to have no direction, revolve around each other like the orbital motion of a celestial body. The distance between them is both infinitely close and endlessly far. In order to confirm their own existence, they become aware of circumstances. What state are we in? The mysterious gap between the two bodies tries to change course, find a new way to expand the dimensional space. Then the journey continues.

“TRAJECTORY” is a new impulse and input of individuality, an ongoing collaborative work with artists – Grace Lyell, Masahiro Hiramoto and Alessandro Grisendi – under the artistic direction of Kihako Narisawa. The choreographic and performance content condenses the various emotions of everyday life into fragmented poetry. The dynamics of the music and the images on the screen fill the space with rich metaphorical expressions, and the performers’ acts in that space become an interface with the audience, bridging the gap between words and ideas.

The idea originally comes from the fact that: ‘this pandemic was an opportunity to stop, think, adapt and start anew’. The word trajectory means ‘a curved path along which something moves through the air or space’ and it often used to describe a process of change or development that leads towards a particular outcome. Individual opinions and actions influence each other and this raises new questions among the people involved, which become acclimatised and continue. The decisions that are made can lead us to a new stage of the journeys.
