THE ORIGINAL TEMPO 2009 at OSAKA JAPAN

Yellow raincoat squad rocks strange and funny show

They bash hammers, crunch crisps and slap each other's bodies to
find new sounds, and play these "instruments" with percussive vigour.

PROFILE
The real and metaphysics come and go through light,
visual and music.


The Original Tempo (TOT) is founded in 2002, JAPAN. Creating "play without words", which is mixture of music, visual projection and physical performing. Consistently experimenting, many performers and creators such as actors, dancers, musicians, designers and auteurs always create something in our "factory system". "INTERIOR" which is more musical performing. We performed "INTERIOR" in Asian countries from 2005-2006. "Shut up, Play!" which is more entertainment performing art with plot. This production got ★★★★ from "The Scotsman" in Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2008. In 2009, we will tour of Singapore Art Festival, N2O comedy festival in London and Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009. And we will also be about to go into new production named "VISION" for the autumn of 2009. It is going to be focusing on animation and physical effects. We strongly wish to introduce novel creation from Japan to the world. The director of TOT, Worry KINOSHITA, is watched young creator and also art director of International Fringe Festival in OSAKA, JAPAN (Osaka Short Play Festival).

We are concentrating on art collaboration. Especially, performance using visual effects is succeeded to create distinctive world-view in the air. The style of creating alternative entertainment which is midway between play and music is based on our motto "World-class entertainment".
Aiming to make borderless, genre-straddling performance, The Original Tempo is going to show you off not play, not even only music, hot performings like no other !
