SUMMARY:MENSTRUATION SUMO DANCE
DESCRIPTION:How have menstruating bodies historically been spoken about and marginalised? Can we entrust pain and the sense of the absurd to something? \nMenstruation has been given meaning at the intersection of social customs and scientific discourse. In this work\, while still emphasizing the importance of scientific knowledge and understanding\, team chiipro – a performance unit that consists of Nanako Matsumoto and Kengo Nishimoto –  performs a ritual dance around the absurdity of menstruation\, something  that cannot be fully grasped through scientific discourse and understanding alone. \nWhat emerges is the Shiko* dance which involves opening and raising the legs before stomping on the ground. The performance takes inspiration from the motion of Shiko to wittily transgress a social boundary. \nThe two artists‛ engagements in text and dance collide and respond to each other in calculated harmony. Four years after its premiere at Kyoto Experiment 2022\, this work opens a new dohyō** in an age of division. \n*Traditionally refers to the ceremonial leg raising ritual done by sumo wrestlers.**Sumo ring \nCredits: \nChoreography and Direction: Nanako Matsumoto & Kengo Nishimoto / team chiipro\nPerformer : Nanako Matsumoto\nMusic : Hayato Ichimura\, Mina Hayashi\nLighting Design : Kana Watanabe\nCostume Design : Kazuto Suzuki (islands)\nChoreographic Collaborators and Performers: Yuka Uchida\, Kohei Maeda\nVideo Design : Daichi Abe\nProduction Coordinator: Yoshimi Toyoyama\nStage Manager : Marie Moriyama\nTechnical Adviser : Yukiko Yoshimoto (Mahiru)\nEnglish subtitles : Kyoka Kawai Arisawa\, Juliet Reiko Knapp \n \nProduced by team chiipro \nCo-produced by Kyoto Experiment\nSupported by The Saison Foundation\nPresenting partner: Kyoto Experiment with the support of Japan Creator Support Fun \nPesan tiketTeam ChiiproTeam Chiipro is a performance duo made up of Nanako Matsumoto and Kengo Nishimoto.
