A quiet day
Inauguration: Saturday, November 26
at 6:30 pm

With regard to the March 11, 2011 disaster where thousands of lives
were lost, together with homes, facilities and entire areas in Japan
and which are no longer habitable and will not be for many years,
the artistic duo has decided to dedicate their solo exhibition
at the Galleria Fumagalli to a consideration arising from
this tragic event and which reflects on the worldwide situation.
Keisuke and Mikuni feel they cannot think of their
art without considering the dramatic situation their country is
still facing and without considering the discussions and changes
that this event brought about.
Debate on the use of nuclear energy, the altering balance of power
within Japanese society, how daily habits have been disrupted and
the memory of those lost days are the heart of this story told through
a series of videos and stills taken from the video, where pain is
not given in to but used to examine the means for embarking on a
new beginning.
Keisuke, visual director, and Mikuni, choreographer
and modern dancer, formed the off-Nibroll duo in 2005; their
work mainly deals with the relationship between body and image.
Their objective is to go beyond the barriers of theatre and take
dance to a level where interaction with the audience is more intimate
and closer. For this reason, the Keisukes video animations
are created using digital re-workings of videos of Mikunis
choreographies which are adapted to narration on themes such as
nature, progress, and the evolution of society, while her performances
are integrated with the projected videos, dialoguing with the places
where the projections take place.
