Coming soon 2019/20 Last episode of the astrotrilogy, åstra is a third performance installation that forms and transforms, like the two first parts, at the intersection of queer-ed spaces/bodies and interplanetary culture. Complementing pompom (Tokyo 2017-18) and ri:vr (Paris 2019), åstra (San Fransisco 2019-20) continues to explore Kellokumpu’s ‘astroembodied choreostructions’, a series of choreographic works […]

shapeshifter During the three month residency period in Tokyo Arts and Space residency in the autumn 2017, I have encountered various cultural tectonic movements. Some of these cultural invisible movements produce a difference that awakes an intimate alien, which is not coextensive with the outer space. Shapeshifter (the Yōrō series) was shot in Yōrō in Gifu […]
#CHARP_solo (Liminal Space Opera) is a version of #CHARP for one performer.

The solo version consists of a […]
