INTRODUCTION

Weaving the spirits of Ango Sakaguchi and Erik Satie through dance
Revised version "The Rite of Spring": A challenge for 21st century dance

“I am a man who, whilst always striving to reach the Kingdom of God, ends up slipping through the gates of hell.”

*From the opening of Ango Sakaguchi’s “I want to be holding the sea”


This year marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of Ango Sakaguchi, the "Buraiha (Outlaw faction)" writer from Niigata City, and this works has been created inspired by his short story "I want to be holding the sea". The music features piano pieces by Erik Satie, the composer beloved by Ango, whose 160th anniversary of his birth also falls this year. Jo Kanamori weaves the resonant spiritual worlds of Ango and Satie into a dance poem.

We also present Jo Kanamori's version of "The Rite of Spring" originally premiered in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a reduced-scaled prodction performed by Noism0 and Noism1, with a minimal cast and stripped-down staging. It portrays the psychological state of modern individuals, burdened with indescribable anxiety, fear and frustration, as a ritual of collective hysteria, expressed through the physical body.
