update dance
KARAS APPARATUS Workshops • Performances • Exhibitions Saburo Teshigawara's own unique space for creation, opened in July 2013. "APPARATUS" meaning that the space itself is an apparatus (tool, set) for creating and realizing Saburo Teshigawara's philosophy. A compact 3-floor space with a hall, rehearsal studio, and gallery, completely covered with dance mat. It is our aim to transmit our creative work "daily" from here, to the world. http://www.st-karas.com/karas_apparatus/ https://www.facebook.com/karasapparatus http://www.st-karas.com/

Excerpts of the music from Wagner’s opera “Tristan and Isolde” is edited into an original and unique dance piece. Continuously undulating music and body fill the space. Forever modulating melody arising, yet reaching nowhere. Such is impossible love and death. Saburo Teshigawara
