An Installation Performance by Tomoko Mukaiyama

Lugtje

In a Japanese living room, a woman takes the audience through different stages of her life, her body and her emotions. She shows us how she was looking for a HOME, how a HOME could feel, and what it was like to lose a HOME (even for a while). Present, past and future cross paths; having a home provides stability, but that same HOME could also become a prison.As a director, choreographer, composer, and video maker, Tomoko Mukaiyama has created the installation performance HOME in close collaboration with dancer Ema Yuasa (former dancer at the Nederlands Dans Theater, choreographer &amp; actress) and technician Yutaka Endo (art director &amp; producer at LUFTZUG). HOME is a place most important to most people.
