INTENSIONAL PARTICLE + SPLIT FLOW
HIROAKI UMEDA (JAPAN)
Contemporary Dance / Digital Arts / Electronic Music
Returning to Theatre Junction with two new solo performances, Japanese artist Hiroaki Umeda is a multi-disciplinary choreographer, dancer, sound, image and lighting designer. His work is minimal and radical, subtle and violent – created to be “experienced”.
In Intensional Particle, Hiroaki Umeda visualizes the energetic power of movement using motion sensors creating digital universes that develop a life of their own in which a body is seemly devoured by sight and sound.
In Split Flow, speed is expressed through strokes of light and a slow moving body. A high luminance laser projects three primary colors – red, green and blue – in split-second velocity, which appear white to the human eye. But when the dancer moves through them, the white light splits into the three colors and different realities come into existence.
With a background in photography and a dance style encompassing contemporary, hip hop and butoh, Umeda combines movement, visual art, digital technology, and electronic music in fascinating ways to create sensory confusion between the real and the digital world. Umeda takes this to the limit, creating “a pointed picture of a modern man – who almost absorbs different projections of everyday life like a canvas – risking his complete disappearance.”
“The performance is masterful, Hiroki Umeda has created a breath-taking mix of light, dance and music, captivating the audience in a state of grace.” – Light ZOOM Lumière
