Kota Yamazaki/Fluid hug-hug
OQ
NEW YORK PREMIERE
JAPAN SOCIETY COMMISSION
Global traditions flow together in this latest work by Bessie Award-winning choreographer Kota Yamazaki (left). Inspired by Japanese ritual poetry readings held at the Imperial Palace, Yamazaki's OQ (ōkyu is the phonetic reading of the Japanese word for "palace") features dancers from diverse cultural and dance backgrounds including Western contemporary, butoh and hip-hop. Within a space designed by award-winning New York architect collective SO-IL that complements the dancers' fluid motions, Yamazaki's palace, with its own rituals and customs, comes to life before our very eyes.
Tickets: $25/$20 Japan Society members
Friday, June 5 performance is followed by a MetLife Meet-the-Artists Reception.
