William "Bilwa" Costa, Akemi Nagao, Klaus Janek - phrase: cycle (trio)
phrase: cycle (trio) is a sequential score for a trio of sound and movement, in which three performers create three, personal, one-minute phrases; which are numbered from 1 to 3. Following the same score, the three performers perform simultaneously. Through repetition and chance, the phrases blend, merge, compliment, and/or contrast; creating a complex composition.
ELEKTRO KAGURA(電気神楽) - ikutani DESU(デス)
Elektro Kagura is challenging the Erlkönig of Goethe. A new interpretation of the dark tale through dance, electronic sound and digital painting.
William "Bilwa" Costa, Akemi Nagao, Klaus Janek are three, Berlin-based artists, who have worked together on many sound-movement projects in the past. However, this is their debut as a trio.
ELEKTRO KAGURA(電気神楽) is the name of the latest collaborative project of Ichi Go (JP), AXL OTL (FR) and Yukihiro Ikutani (JP). 神楽(Kagura) is a traditional dance, performed during shinto rituals. The three artists recreate in live the Japanese pantheon in a cross media performance, bringing together modern dance, computer sound and digital painting. This is a tribute to the glorious and intangible moment, when cultures meet and their traditions amalgamate naturally without any clashes. Inspiring each other, proving again and again that difference is harmonious.
