On Film and the Program for Dance and Movement Present:

Eiko Otake - A Body, Land, and War

(performance, projection, discussion)

Friday February 13 | 7:30 PM

Spurrier Dance Theater

70 minute performance will be followed by a Q&A.

This new performance from acclaimed dancer Eiko Otake combines dance, video projection, and storytelling, and will feature two of her pieces: A Body in Fukushima and What Is War? A Body in Fukushima is a long-running multimedia interrogation of the body's relation to nuclear catastrophe and to the damaged landscapes of the Anthropocene. What is War? Is a deeply vulnerable piece in which the dancer examines notions of fragility and trauma during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), while exploring the body's potential as a conduit for historical memory.
