One of the most acclaimed and groundbreaking new shows of recent years, KAGAMI is an extraordinary and profoundly moving performance by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.KAGAMI is a collaboration between mixed reality pioneers Tin Drum and Sakamoto. Sakamoto’s internationally-acclaimed body of work ranges from influential electronic pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra to his hugely acclaimed soundtrack work Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, The Revenant and The Last Emperor, for which he won an Academy Award.
KAGAMI is a new kind of performance. Audiences are invited to wear glasses that fuse three-dimensional moving images with the real world. The result is an intimate encounter with Sakamoto and a groundbreaking mixed reality performance experience. A truly immersive work that removes any barrier between the performance, the audience and the artist himself, KAGAMI puts you on the stage with Sakamoto.
KAGAMI is a uniquely intimate, elegiac gift that moves us to reconnect with Sakamoto’s genius and be transfixed by the beauty of his music once again. Simply exquisite.
