The Sharjah Art Foundation will host, within the exhibition "Resonance Structures: Japanese Art of Sound and Performance", which runs until February 15, three dancing and musical performances that take inspiration from Japanese traditions, and try to ask questions about the invisible connections and effects between the machine and the human being.
The exhibition, curated by the art director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Yuko Hasikawa, combines the work of six artists: Min Tanaka, Mirai Moriyama, Tomoko Sauvage, Yoko Mohri, Ititsu Hayashi, and Kiichiro Shibuya.
On Friday, artist Ititsu Hayashi will perform a musical performance playing traditional Japanese drums entitled "Melodies of Nature: Heartbeat from Japan" at the Sharjah Academy of Performing Arts.
Hayashi is distinguished by his style of playing a group of drums of various sizes and types, as he elevates his art above the traditional methods of Japanese drum beating with the aim of creating a new style. While the artist Min Tanaka will perform a show entitled "Lucas Focus", during the 30 and 31 of the month in Marija Square, during which he will discuss the role and function of dance in contemporary societies.
As for Kiichiro Shibuya, he will present on the 31st of the Sharjah Academy of Performing Arts an automatic opera entitled "Scary Beauty", performed by a robot called "Alter 3", accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra.
