"STONE" (70 minutes)
- I am a stone, just a
fragment of the cosmos.-
This performance is developed from Atsushi
Takenouchi's experience through dance and performance in natural setting
of mountains, seas, fields and forests across the countryside for three
and a half years. A stone is formed a long time ago, it is born from the
earth, and a stone holds plant's seeds and the small creatures and the
carcass of the animals. Taking root, a tree grows up into a big tall tree
with the sunshine and the nourishment from the earth. Just a single small
stone can provide a proof that shows links between everything in this
world. Atsushi dances the past, and the future of this small stone's
life.
