This piece marks the debut at KYOTO EXPERIMENT for Kitamari, a choreographer and dancer, whose career has not ceased to move forward since 2006 when –while still a university student- she was nominated for the Toyota Choreography Award. Some of the many works that Kitamari has produced in the last years include “I tried being born, but…” (2010), inspired by Ozu Yasujiro’s films, KIKIKIKIKIKI’s Commissioned Performance (2010), a project that recruited several choreographers to create a common piece, and “Boku” (2011), a piece performed by male actors and dancers. For this new presentation, there will be a staff of only original members, something she has not done in a while.
The three performers began work on the piece on New Year’s Eve 2010, and it uses material they gathered on a blog. Are all of the words used to talk about everyday life a mere fiction on the net? Are they real? Right at the intersection between words and the body, the three performers, with their different physical characteristics (small, big, fat) attempt to present a new kind of image and human figure on the stage.
