A new project by Yuzo Ishiyama/A.P.I.
This is the alpha version of the dance piece “./ [dot slash]”.
It will be presented first as a “studio live/video work”.
This work sheds light on the “disconnectedness” of communication that is emerging in the contemporary age, and asks a number of “questions”.
And there is a “dialogue” between the dancer and the machine.Date&Time: 31 October (Sat), 1 pm (CET) / 9 pm (JST)

Venue: Online (YouTube)
