About Me:
"'Avant-garde' lies deep in nature/culture and history of Japan.
What I want to show through performances by MI -KUNI
is that inn ovative stage arts come up from regional traditions
and native customs of this country. "
Jujiro Maegawa
All performing arts of Japan are "Matsuri" (Japanese festival).
Zokuyo (folk ballads), Kagura (Shinto ceremonial dances), Noh (traditional masked dancedrama),
and Gagaku (ancient court dance and music) are among Japanese traditional arts
coming down to the present time. In such field, any and all people were integrated and
mingled without any boundaries of classes, professions or religions. They found the joy of
living at the moment of "Matsuri" .
Performers belonging to various fields got together in Mi-kuni and aim to produce stage arts
evoking a primitive feeling in this modern world by using "Matsuri" as the source of
creation.
In Tokyo 2002, we Mi-kuni was organized by several creators who are dancers, musicians,
visual artists along with sympathies with Jujiro's work. More than a dozen works which were
created through the past decade are amazingly various. For instance, in a work which based on
Noh classic, we performed it with movie on the imitated stage as if it's like a Kabuki theater,
and in a work based on " "Matsuri" , Japanese ancient ritual , we performed it as a live art
which include both instrumental and vocal music. At these expermental approaches, we
refined it into simple expression which consisted of voice, body and rhythm.
So to speak, true to Jujiro's word, we Mi-kuni are continue to pursue wild and atypical another
space not a smart and typical stage, with repeated approaches which stimulate our sense of
primitive.
