(1) Out of Tokyo

Vol. 048: Backstage Fascinations

The Sainokuni Kylian project "KYLIAN - NDT Festival 2002" has just ended. I 
think
it was an immensely meaningful event that gave another evidence of each of the
three age-separated companies' skills, and besides this introduced us to 
Prague-born
choreographer Kylian's romanticist roots. The latter fact became clear 
especially in
NDT I's performance of the 1978 work "Symphony of Psalms." The 
stylistically excellent,
beautiful piece is made up of eight couples who are voluptuously dancing to 
Igor
Stravinsky's music. It was very interesting to see that the image of female 
dancers
flying high above the stage, as we know it from recent works, was used also 
in early
pieces such as this one.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Adachi Tomomi sings John Cage

One of the absolute authorities of contemporary music, John Cage has released a
collection of a number of solo pieces for voice, adequately titled "Song 
Books."
In this concert, voice performer Adachi Tomomi sings excerpts of these pieces.
This might sound like any conventional concert, but you have to be aware 
that we're
talking about Cage and Adachi. The artist himself emphasizes that these 
works are
"no 'songs' as we know them," and I think we can expect a very experimental
performance that also employs computers and self-built instruments. 
Admission is
free, but you are welcome to donate a few yen like at a street performance.
I'm looking forward also to the party and the charity auction after the 
concert.
