Music, spaced with silence and dance come together in this intense, experimental performance
When a contemporary choreographer from Mumbai collaborates with a sound artiste from Japan, one can only expect an intense performance. "It is, but it is also a quiet performance—not in terms of sound but the velocity of it. There is a shared wavelength between sound artiste Mitsuaki Matsumoto and me.
