By Takayuki Fujimoto, Tsuyoshi Shirai, Takao Kawaguchi, Takuya Minami, Daito Manabe, Satoshi Horii, Seiichi Saito, Motoi Ishibashi, Masaki Teruoka, Noriko Kitamura ---------------------------------------------------- We think we see an unlimited number of colours in nature, but in fact our brain sensory functions combine only three light waves. We take the illusion of colours for reality when, in truth, this assumed reality is a mental construct, one of many generated by ourselves day- by-day, minute-by-minute. When these processes are clearly demonstrated, we may re-examine our relationship to the world we thought was predetermined. "true" is a new sound, light and dance performance that explores the relationship between the brain and the reality we face. true also looks at new possibilities of and evolution in sound, lighting and performance, made possible only with today’s technology. Performed by dancer-choreographers Tsuyoshi Shirai and Takao Kawaguchi, this poetic journey is a sensory experience in which the use of high-technology devices such as LED lights, oscillators and myoelectric sensors creates a highly enhanced sound and light experience, and the theatre space becomes a flickering and vibrating extension of the performers’ bodies. "true" was premiered in September 2007 at Japan’s Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] by 10 artists from different fields under the direction of Takayuki Fujimoto of Kyoto collective Dumb Type. The collaborators include dancer and winner of the Toyota Choreography Awards 2006 ,Tsuyoshi Shirai of AbsT/baneto, dancer Takao Kawaguchi of Dumb Type, last seen in D.D.D. in The Studios last year, music composer Daito Manabe and visual, video and visual designer Takuya Minami. This will be the premiere performance of true outside of Japan. http://www.true.gr.jp Video on YouTube: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=xG6rBB4VYJ0 Ticket: $28 Concessions for students, NSF and senior citizens: $20 The Studios Pass: Buy a ticket to 3 different The Studios shows at $25 each ($18 for students, NSF and senior citizens) Booking in the Esplanade's website: http://www.esplanade.com/SOPApp/espsop/portal_proxy? uri=o_nuinR7xVvpiW9f!2pKDV@5rq- E_AlsvZIm_9MEA@a@shK@GfG-7POZO5=WsQP0blaEsJFM The "true" team is planning to have the traveling show in Europe, autumn 2009.
