	MIROKU


MIROKU © Bengt Wanselius PHOTOS		A solo originally created at the New National Theatre Tokyo in December 2007, Miroku is based on the spirit to see the present from the eye of the future. For Teshigawara, dance is the continuity of the future completing each second before us. Sense of time emerges purely from the body movement, and thus space from the movement and time. The blue-box stage set changes its phase each moment with the magic of Teshigawara's lighting design. "Thus Teshigawara transformed his body quality skillfully, erasing the body and reaching the dance of the soul. He approached the ultimate form of dance, and created a magnificent epic of the human spirit. The lights and its colors created by himself was exceptionally beautiful."
