UNiBIRTH (2012)
Unibirth is a live performance art project which is conceptualized, directed and performed by Aoi Yamaguchi, in collaboration with Argentinian contemporary composer Sebastian Plano, contemporary dancer Celine Alwyn and Emmaly Widerholt. Inspired by unifying concepts of “universe” and “birth,” Unibirth celebrates the reincarnation of lives that exist in nature and signifies the infinite cycle of the universe, incorporating the physical movement of calligraphy, contemporary dance, sounds and visuals. The dancer represents the spirit of humanity - the music, representing the earth’s ensemble, and the poetry, written on the bodies and garments, awaken the spirit from long hibernation.
