Humpit, the collaborative unit of costumiere Minami Hirano and choreographer Rion Nakagawa, presents a new tour guide\u2013style performance that unfolds as audiences walk through a 1,067-meter-long tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting at the entrance is a figure dressed in an decorative costume. One by one, the people who will walk together begin to gather. What can we choose to carry? What can we entrust? And what are we willing to take on for the journey to the other side?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now, Humpit has approached the human body as the common ground between costume and choreography, creating works in which the boundaries between the two gradually dissolve. This time, however, they begin by separating the relationship, placing costume and dance side by side and asking what each might be on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet simply placing them side by side proves far more difficult than expected. Because they both engage with the same body, a shift in one inevitably unsettles the other. Instability. Imbalance. An inescapable mutual influence. The reassurance of complementing one another. The cost of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps there is no getting to the other side without giving something in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll be waiting for you, dressed as sweetly as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would you like to walk to the other side with us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
