I will become you someday (2019)

MOVIE:31min
UPDATE:2021.01.06

This project by mountain ascetic Daizaburo Sakamoto and dancer Yuko Okubo endeavors to get closer to the beginnings of art and performance.

At festival sites, the relationship between nature, which was considered divine in Japan, and human beings used to be narrated through myths, allowing people to feel connected to everything and sense the reincarnation of life. For us in the contemporary era, we can no longer easily believe in these myths or reincarnation. Nonetheless, we hope to get in touch with the core of art and performance just as people in the past once were. Reading, deconstructing, and reconstructing the structure of festivals, as well as myths, folk tales, and stories, we endeavor to discover the festival, art, and performance of the future.

This video is a documentation of a performance staged at Reborn-Art Festival 2019. Please watch this work that forms what we might call the origin of our project ongoing since 2020.

PROFILE

DAIZABURO SAKAMOTO + YUKO OKUBO

They are engaged in a project to present new works of physical expression that transcend local and personal body narratives. Sakamoto is a mountain ascetic, who was born in Chiba Prefecture. Interested in the creation and development of culture, including creative and performing arts, he writes and makes art at his base in the sacred mountains of Dewa Sanzan, located in the Tohoku region. His books include The Mountain Ascetic and Me (Little More). After a stint with the Maki Asami Ballet Company, Okubo began her career as a contemporary dancer. She also formed KATHY, a group whose activities traverse the fields of art and dance. Okubo has produced many projects in Japan and abroad, including a 100th-anniversary event for the Citizen watch company.
