Using text from Chernobyl Prayer: A Chronicle of the Future by Svetlana Alexievich, a Nobel Prize in Literature recipient, dancers gently interweave and create a space of peacefulness. Human innocence and foolishness, and life’s strength and preciousness begin to surface through layers of time. In this moment of “now,” we become humanized and reach to the future. This dance work is a sincere contemplation of “living” by choreographer Yukio Suzuki, who has gained attention both domestically and internationally for his experimental initiatives and distinct quality of dance.
