Jan. 15-17
Co-created by Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya, artistic directors of CAVE and The New York Butoh Festival.
An installation of strings and water, real-time video projection, and live electronic music converge to create a stunning, seamless landscape in which a single Butoh artist moves. Every motion of the dance is reflected in the surface of water, creating waves, which in turn, affect the light and projected image. Floating Point Waves explores the unstable and interconnected nature of our world. The adult human body is approximately 60 percent water. By heightening this perception and emphasizing the significance of its weight in our body, the dance emerges as an interplay between the body and gravity. Projected video functions as visual music. The world transforms until our only standing point is instability and we are but an interconnected floating point.
