LIFE–WELL

A collaborative stage performance by Sakamoto/Takatani with Mansai Nomura and other leading figures in the contemporary Noh scene is shown in the space where a new version of "LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible…" by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Shiro Takatani is on display.

The piece is themed around Irish poet/playwright W.B. Yeats, whose work has been influenced by Noh, as well as elements like water and trees that correspond with the philosophy behind the oher work Ryuichi Sakamoto presents here. A performance of classical material, and a session of experimental improvised music, classical performing arts and video, will highlight a new type of art that emerges out of the relationship between nature and civilization, against a backdrop spanning from ancient times to the present.
