Adapted from Hiroshi Teshigahara's mysterious 1960s cult movie, Suna no Onna ("Woman in the Dunes") is a dance installation that merges virtual and real images of a life of existential entrapment in an inhospitable habitat
The ominous sand dunes of Teshigahara's desert are transformed into virtual realities that shape the unconscious ground where the Woman (Katsura Isobe) meets a scientist-foreigner who stumbles into her life to become a captive.
The work combines dance, interactive video and animation, fashion design, electronic music and specially developed sensorial and interfacial garments (built with intelligent materials), which respond to movement qualities, energies and emotional gesture. Work originally was commissioned for the INTIMACY festival (Laban Centre/Goldsmiths).
Conceived and directed by Johannes Birringer and Michele Danjoux, the stage production features new fashion concepts by Danjoux and digital designs by a group of collaborating artists including Paul Verity Smith, Doros Polydorou, Maria Wiener, and Jonathan Hamilton. Original music composed by Oded Ben-Tal, scenography by Hsueh-Pei Wang, and lighting design by Miguel Alonso.
Suna no Onna is performed by an international cast - Japanese dance Katsura Isobe, British dance Olugbenga Taiwo and Chinese dance Helenna Ren
