The theremin is one of the earliest fully electronic musical instruments. It was invented by Russian inventor Léon Theremin in 1919, and it is unique in that it was the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched.
Born in 1972, Shoko Uehara started to sing at a very early age by imitating the sounds coming from the television. Her parents pushed her into studying classical piano, which she did from her fingertips. For her first performances, she appeared in pyjamas covered with cow prints, then, from 1997, took the next logical step and introduced a repertory whose main theme was a dog, dressing up in an enormous long-haired wolf costume and becoming Jon (The Dog).
A thin, reedy voice escapes from an enormous dog that is pumping the bellows of an old harmonium. This is Jon, a great scruffy dog that sings stories about his dog's life, the cats in the district and supper time. The minimalist lyrics are sung with surprising conviction. It is a performance for the less absurd that plunges us into an environment that is strange, amusing and nostalgic at the same time.
