MUJO is a dance and live music performance using the sandy desert as the stage, with visuals projected on a large dune in which the dance takes place. The dancers, visuals, and sounds constantly assemble and disassemble in various forms, in a cathartic struggle of emotions and change. We build and achieve some shape, but there is nothing to hold onto as everything eventually falls apart like sand. MUJO (無常 – Japanese for impermanence) is a celebration of life’s diversity, expressed through a harmonious blend of dance, sound, and visual artistry underneath the starry sky out in the desert.
MUJO Installation is a multi-channel video/sound installation that is both an extension of the live performance and its own interpretation of the performance piece. The installation seeks to deconstruct and re-imagine the body and its response to, and impact on, the elements (sand, water, wind). The multiple instances of video and sound allow the possibility of repetition, working with and against stillness/movement, creating intimacy/distance. This fractured sense of a contiguous landscape allows an intervention into Kiori Kawai’s meditative choreography.
