#MeetArtist! On-line performance “ENIGMA PROJECT” by Yoko Koike, dancer, will be broadcasting at 19:00 on Feb. 11! Don’t miss it!

★Message from the artist★

“ENIGMA PROJECT” is a project that analyses from different perspectives and re-construct a performance work “ENIGMA”, which premiered in 2012, Kyoto. An etymology of enigma is a Greece word “ainigma” that means an obscure saying, and the word “enigma” was used for the encryption device deployed by Nazi Germany during the WWII. A dance Yoko Koike and a music composer Toru Yamanaka have been engaged with the work ENIGMA since 2012 when it’s premiered in Kyoto. Adding a curator Junya Utsumi, a video artist Yoshinori Takeuchi, and a sound and media artist Kazumasa HIEI to the original members in 2020, they started to analyse the performance from different perspectives and reconstruct it in an interdisciplinary way.

“Hole” is the theme for the upcoming performance. A hole connects different spaces even though it is not a substantial being. In a performance, it directly and physically affects a dancer as light and stage setting. How can we transmit through video the body responding to the hole?
