We think we see an unlimited number of colours in nature, but in fact
our brain sensory functions combine only three light waves. We take
the illusion of colours for reality when, in truth, this assumed
reality is a mental construct, one of many generated by ourselves day-
by-day, minute-by-minute. When these processes are clearly
demonstrated, we may re-examine our relationship to the world we
thought was predetermined.
"true" is a new sound, light and dance performance that explores the
relationship between the brain and the reality we face. true also
looks at new possibilities of and evolution in sound, lighting and
performance, made possible only with today’s technology.
Performed by dancer-choreographers Tsuyoshi Shirai and Takao
Kawaguchi, this poetic journey is a sensory experience in which the
use of high-technology devices such as LED lights, oscillators and
myoelectric sensors creates a highly enhanced sound and light
experience, and the theatre space becomes a flickering and vibrating
extension of the performers’ bodies.
"true" was premiered in September 2007 at Japan’s Yamaguchi
Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] by 10 artists from different fields
under the direction of Takayuki Fujimoto of Kyoto collective Dumb
Type. The collaborators include dancer and winner of the Toyota
Choreography Awards 2006 ,Tsuyoshi Shirai of AbsT/baneto, dancer
Takao Kawaguchi of Dumb Type, last seen in D.D.D. in The Studios last
year, music composer Daito Manabe and visual, video and visual
designer Takuya Minami. This will be the premiere performance of true
outside of Japan.
