Video x Contemporary Circus
Kyoto
In the city at night, a video x aerial performance unfolds to confront an era of division.
This is a work-in-progress piece to reflect on the age of division, created through a fusion of video and aerial performance. Like insects drawn to a light trap, people wander, their sight dazzled by the bright light, disoriented and lost. Addiction, extreme obsession, blind faith―people are easily drawn and consumed by such powerful gravitational force.
