Dance, Poetry, and Music.
Born from the artist’s reflections on the theme of human migration, “White Shadow” takes a broader perspective and seeks to connect a small group of three individuals to the universal, focusing on the fundamental commonalities found not only within each of us but also in everything in this world.
Two dancers and a musician interact with—or are subjected to—an environment composed of hundreds of white garments.
The staging draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese garden style known as karesansui, which uses stones, sand, plants, and topography to evoke the flow of water in a place where there is no water.
Thus, we can sense the presence of water, even though there is none.
“White Shadow” is a space-time where the boundaries between existence and non-existence, subject and object, body and environment, here and elsewhere, the present
and the past, you and me, are both emphasized and blurred.
“Shining, silent eyes
Thousands of kilometers of connections
A mist of unknown words
An unexpected scent in the air
Faint and shadowy
The depth of hundreds of connections
The condensation of unseen landscapes
New light on the ground
Here
Connected to infinity
Traces of an immeasurable weight”
