Ryohei Kondo
Ryohei Kondo‘s first duet in two years, the latest in a series following <Melody Fair> (1999), <Watashi no Koibito> (2004), and <Watashi no Aijin> (2010), this new piece is a direct, “pop”, and cute meditation on love. What sigh-inducing dazzling love worlds to encounter?! Kondo, active in the theater, on film, and as an author, still within the great breadth of his work, he confirms that his duets are an important core at the origin of dance. Grasped by the exciting world of Ryohei Kondo! Bound to the thrill of dance! (Atsuko Hisano, Program Director, The Saison Foundation)
