A multimedia dance performance that connects memories of the past, present, and future

HILUM :
1. Botany - the mark or scar on a seed produced by separation from its funicle or placenta. the nucleus of a granule of starch.
2. Mycology - a mark or scar on a spore at the point of attachment to the spore-bearing structure.
3. Anatomy - the region at which the vessels, nerves, etc., enter or emerge from a part.

This production is a live performance to share a new memory in the present moment and to connect past and future memories about the land.
In the playground of the abandoned Kawakami junior high school, there suddenly appears a stark-white hexagonal pillar which is alien to the surroundings of Kawakami' s deep nature.
The object looks like the earth' s navel or a window to another dimension. Various images, some of them alien to the land while others awake memories of the land, are projected onto the object. There, six performers dance as if they are laying a trail of new memories and then, as if they are reeling in old memories.
Electronic sounds, buzzing airwaves, and sounds from a distant land meld with the ambient sounds on the stage until they become indistinguishable from each other. There emerges a soundscape that has never been heard there before or since. The next moment, drums are beaten as if to drive the dancers.
Through the experience of this setting called performance, the audience will perceive the past, present, and future not as 'upper case history' but as a calm and incessant flow of time and will realize that he/she exists to constitute the memory of this time and this place.
Following the resident production and premiere in Kawakami, the piece will then be performed without any alteration, at special places in and out of Japan that are filled with history and memories as deep and still as those of the old Kawakami junior high school are.

The Chinese Room
collaboration with choreographer Kenneth Flak and light designer Thomas Dotzler

Kenneth Flak / produced by Korzo Theater, The Hague

Kenneth Flak
The Norwegian dancer and choreographer Kenneth Flak has for a number of years been active as a dancer and choreographer in the Netherlands and Norway. As a dancer, he appeared in various productions by André Gingras. In 2007 he was awarded the prestigious Bessie Award for his achievement in Gingras' solo CYP17. As a choreographer he created, amongst others, Unison, God Studies and Of Gods and Driftwood. The latter was included in the 2010 Blind Date tour.

The Chinese Room
His latest performance, The Chinese Room will premiere in the countdown dance weekend. The point of departure is the question of what is the next step in human evolution. Will the human race finally merge with machines and with each other, permanently linking us together in a universal organism? Together with dancer Külli Roosna, light designer Thomas Dotzler and multimedia artist Matsuo Kunihiko, Kenneth explores the new Humanity 2.0. Can we remain human in a networked reality where technology, biology, mind and power have all become one?

PROJET O
17.04.10 - 21.04.10

VEDANZA (LU), TRAFFO, CENTRE DE CRÉATION CHORÉGRAPHIQUE
LUXEMBOURGEOIS - TROIS C-L
La Lune avait disparu des cieux depuis des mois...
Les marées étaient dès lors invisibles et inaudibles,
Les bateaux tournaient en rond, cherchant en vain leur rive.
Chiens et loups se retrouvaient sans repos, hurlant jour et nuit.
Où était donc passée la Lune ? Dérobée, enlevée ?

« Projet O » est un conte moderne, une ravissante performance faite de jeux et de surprises, une chasse au trésor menée par trois danseurs et deux musiciens...
Retrouveront-ils la Lune ? ...et elle, sa place dans le firmament ?

In ihrer vollendeten Form haben die geometrischen Grundfiguren Kreis und Kugel seit jeher große Faszination ausgelöst und die menschliche Vorstellung inspiriert.
Drei Tänzer und zwei Musiker sind auf der Suche nach dem Mond, der eines Tages urplötzlich verschwand.
Willkommen in einer von Farbe, Licht, Ton und Bewegung verzauberten runden Welt!
