Sengiku Bando -- "Three"


"Three" is a choreographic installation project by Sengiku (from Japan) and Laurent Ziegler (from Austria). The seed of this concept has started to grow in Monaco Dance Forum 2004, where Sengiku and Ziegler had met and had discovered the work of each other, as dancer and as photographer. "Three" refers to the unexpected meeting of the three different worlds: traditional Japanese dance (Sengiku), contemporary dance (Kondo) and photography (Ziegler). The each sequence of the movements of two dancers will be filmed by the photographer and the image of this moment will be projected upon the screens as a memory. Walking through this mixed media installation garden, the audience can experience an extraordinary space, which would be designed and redesigned by dancers as well as the audience them selves, and where this moment and its memory coexist in harmony.
