From the Galway 2020 project with Akiko Kitamura, the special edition “Echoes of Calling – Encounter” premieres on the 23rd at 1 pm! What sights and sounds will greet us in this new remote creation between Japan and Ireland? Together with this streaming of “Encounter,” they have also made available the premiere performance in Tokyo in January. You can watch it from anywhere in the world! We hope you enjoy both versions! Also, you can read an essay on this project on our website. Please check it out!

＊Message＊
“Echoes of Calling” is an international collaboration between Ireland and Japan by contemporary dance choreographer Akiko Kitamura. As part of the project for the European Capital of Culture Galway 2020, Kitamura choreographed online for Irish dancers in February and March, and the video “Echoes of Calling -Encounter” is a mix of footage; one is shot by a local crew and another is recorded in Tokyo in January this year.
The video will be available to view free of charge until 30 April, following an online panel discussion in which Kitamura will participate from 13:00 (IST)/21:00 (JST) on 23 April.
