IKI, SHI,TAI

 

Shintaro Oue | C/Ompany

Three Japanese men stand on an empty stage in silence. Slowly they fill the stage with colour, cheerfully and with overwhelming charm. Laughingly they invite you to open the door to Japan, through them. Their breathing is tangible, their words seem like music. They react to each other, those three bodies, with an energy as if they are still adolescents. But in the wrong outfit…
All three dancers in [IKI, SHI, TAI] have been active in the European dance scene, and have now come together to share their Japanese roots with each other and the audience. Full of humour, sometimes alienating, but always with great expressiveness they take the stage to win your hearts.
