AMAREYA THEATRE IN TOKYO

 

8-11.02.2011 Morishita Studio, Tokyo

 

Amareya Theatre took part in the next edition of the theatre project 'Dream Regime organised by the well-known Japanese theatre - Gekidan Kaitaisha.

The project encompassed the presentation of the 'Dream Regime' performance directed by Shimizu Shinjin in Tokyo.

This project included the participation of artists from Brazil, Great Britain, Japani, Denmark, Germany and Poland.

The performance 'Dream Regime 2011' was presented in two parts:

1. 'Faith-ful Bodies'

2. 'Era of the Sick'

 

Tthe performances were presented during the „Trans Avant-Garde Theatre Festival” organised by Gekidan Kaitaisha.

 

From Kaitaisha's website:

http://www.kaitaisha.com/

 

The Dream Regime project was first realised at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff in 2004. Assembled were over 30 artists, academics and guest from countries including East Timor, Indonesia, Spain, USA, England, Japan, Korea, Australia, Germany. The project had some significance in dealing with the question of translation and language: how a spoken gesture can become a performed gesture, a physical action, a remembered action, and perhaps how this can relate to shared and different histories. Initially the project had set-out to consider the hidden histories of cultural diversity within an era of globalisation. As the project evolved, through residencies at further centres in countries including Poland, Germany, Jordon, East Timor, Brazil, it was quite quickly established that globalisation exists everywhere and in each local context are histories which pertain to questions of migration, as well as those more unresolved issues of the marginalised, the oppressed and those who exist as or are made to become invisible. So perhaps Dream Regime has in its own way become a process of learning: from different people across the globe, an effort at dialogue, to listen. I sincerely hope such efforts may continue and that it also can resolve in some way a history reflected from Japan, a moving image in which I hope the Dream Regime can be repeatedly seen with a particular resonance, towards a continually renewing, calming silence of hope.

23 June 2010  

Premiere of the solo performance of Agnieszka Kamińska

'Rescued. On the edge of heaven.'

Premiere - 23 June 2010, Klub ŻAK, Gdańsk

Concept/ choreography/ dance - Agnieszka Kamińska
Light design – Grzegorz Ruta / Agnieszka Kamińska
Music/Texts - Agnieszka Kamińska, mix: Adrian Wracławek

Assistance – Aleksandra Śliwińska, Katarzyna Pastuszak

Costumes – Julia Porańska

 

In her solo performance entitled Rescued. On the edge of heaven Agnieszka Kamińska poses a question – to what extent can a Human Being influence his Fate, and to what extent it is the Fate that rules our lives. The inspiration for the performance came from the novel The Iron Orchid written by Marek Jankowski. The main character of the novel grows up in Gdansk but his childhood is torn by the Second World War. Kamińska explores the loneliness and abandonment experienced by a child who hides his identity to survive the hardships of war. The performance is a study of the human beings’ striving to save their own life and their inner universe.

The performance was created with the financial support of the Gdansk City Council and the Office of the Marshall of Pomorskie Voivodeship

 

 

‘Rescued. On the edge of heaven” by  Agnieszka Kamińska of Amareya Theatre is one of the most interesting and consistent performances of this season’ Magdalena Hajdysz
