PeoplePeople


tarinainanika (Japan)

A wildly quirky piece of physical theatre from Japan. Watching PeoplePeople is like peering into the minds of its five characters: a professor, a punk, a pierrot, a patient and a pupil. The experience is strangely humanising and somewhat mad. The movements are carefully crafted and highly stylised through the unique theatrical language of Corporeal Mime. The characters speak in their native tongue (Japanese, Chinese, English). There is no story. There is no set. Just five people, being people, in their own surreal way.

    A Dangerous Whim

    A joker assembles a foursome for a game of cards. But the game is not what it seems, and nor are the players, who may turn out to be figments of the joker’s sinister imagination. If there were a story its moral would be: beware what you imagine – it may come back to bite you. A Dangerous Whim is fifteen minutes of cinematic poetry. Through stylised acting, surreal videography, and a quirky soundscape of music, voice and noise it conjures up a strangely compelling world of beauty and suspense.A new short non-verbal piece from tarinainanika, creators of Tokyo Fugue and The Same Boat, also showing on C ARTS.Performed by | Nozomi Fujishima, Ryuta Kawai, Yukiko Masui, Kate Montgomery, Yukio TodoDirected by | Kentaro Suyama and Tania CokeProduced by | tarinainanikaMusic | Kevin MacLeod, Victor Dance Orchestra, Mozart, Tania CokeSound design and operation | Tania CokeLighting design and operation | Kentaro Suyamawww.tarinainanika.comwww.facebook.com/tarinainanikawww.instagram.com/tarinainanika Watch Trailer

    The Same Boat

    New physical drama that weaves together the longings and fears of five characters: a witch, a bitch, a goldfish, a sleepwalker and a salaryman. These worlds collide and collapse into one another, painting a picture of both the particular and the universal condition of being human. A rollercoaster-ride of a piece, containing moments of beauty, comedy, surrealism, pathos and passion. The drama is expressed through movement and text (both Japanese and English), accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack that includes original music and soundscapes.www.tarinainanika.comwww.facebook.com/tarinainanikawww.instagram.com/tarinainanika Watch Trailer

    Tokyo Fugue

    A mesmerising piece of physical theatre, set in the maze-like train system of Tokyo. The scenes unfold like the variations of a fugue, in sequences of meticulously crafted movement. With three bodies and three chairs, the piece conjures up the dizzying experience of life in a modern metropolis. The audience is left breathless and wondering: what is it, after all, that I am chasing? At times poetic, at times comical, at times unsettling, this is theatre that speaks to the soul.www.tarinainanika.comwww.facebook.com/tarinainanikawww.instagram.com/tarinainanika Watch Trailer
