In this new duo piece created and performed with Satoshi Kudo, renowned artist who for many years has worked as a dancer and choreography assistant of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, we investigate the liquid aspect of the human body, and the mixture of those two liquid-bodies.

Mazari is a Japanese word referring to the process of mixing. This work focuses on the flow of liquid that fills more than half of the human body and the way in which two bodies mix with the liquid stream. The choreography draws a mixed reaction as a chemistry, as a result of producing heat, foam, crystals, etc., and we verify how the emotion of the individual is affected by these effects. Kudo has created a movement theory called “Motion Qualia”. This is a way of building movement through reflexes, which makes stability support the body through conscious disconnection with balance. The movement has an effective characteristic to draw a type of liquid movement, and thus it is used as a base in this work.
