“Imagination Record” by KAAT and Nibroll

This is a new joint production with Kanagawa Arts Theatre (KAAT) to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nibroll’s founding. For it, the troupe held auditions to select not only dancers but also actors, and created a dance piece that has with lines and seems to overlay words and bodily movements. Inspired by the frequent occurrence of disasters, acts of terrorism, and transience of lives suddenly taken all around the world, it portrays times, memories, and landscapes that end up being lost no matter how diligently they are recorded. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, Nibroll has continued to create works keyed by the words “memory” and “time,” as evidenced by see / saw (2012), Real Reality (2015), and The World has Shrunk, and Only a Certain Fact Remains (2016).
