未来へ 伝統×最先端が挑む日本最古の舞 ~狂言師・野村萬斎×真鍋大度の挑戦~

Kyogen performer Nomura Mansai's speciality, Sanbaso, is said to be the oldest form of Shinto ritual in Japan's performing arts. On the occasion of his 50th birthday, Mansai took up the challenge of fusing tradition and technology with the help of media artist Daito Manabe and others to see how he could delve deeper into this "Sanbaso" and see if a new form of expression was possible. The programme will take up the challenge of fusing tradition and technology. The programme follows the trajectory of the project and explores the roots of what "Sanbaso" is all about.

The Theatre of Disappearance

The first part is like a postcard from a realm almost too surreal to be true, a study of daily life in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea flecked with such unusual details that not all of them can be real. The second part manipulates time, a wordless portrait of clay vessels being produced in Morocco that slows down and speeds up without warning, imbuing unspectacular actions with detachment and wonder. The third part distorts space, a hand camera tour that moves through apparently connected locations as if carrying out a single movement, although these industrial facilities, cityscapes, meadows and exhibition spaces are not side by side but scattered across the globe.

ZA/ZA

A silhouette animation in which the characters’ actions, reminiscent of a crime movie, are repeated over and over again: a man and woman on the run appear, a man raises his hand to the muzzle of a gun, flames explode out of the muzzle and the screen goes completely red. The shadows of the characters, indistinct as if cast by candlelight, stimulate our vision and shake our mental landscape; are they vague memories of movies we have seen before, or vestiges of a nightmare submerged deep in our minds?
