Acclaimed Japanese director and choreographer Reisa Shimojima has been hailed as “one of the most exciting new voices in Asian performing arts,” consistently serving up visceral, thought-provoking work with her dance-theater collective KEDAGORO. Past projects include Sky (dealing with psychological conformity and extremist violence) and Sewol (exploring the collective grief and trauma surrounding the 2014 MV Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea). This weekend, KEDAGORO arrives at OZ Arts with yet another intriguing piece — The Age Is Yours, My Liege! (A Tale of Proto-Japan). “Blending kinetic choreography with surreal theatricality and biting humor,” this provocative work takes on Japan’s national identity and power structure, along with the origins of its imperial rule, ritual and symbolism — complete with pastel empresses spinning on an oversized hamster wheel. With extraordinary physicality and striking visuals, The Age Is Yours, My Liege! marks another exciting U.S. premiere for OZ Arts. I guarantee you won’t see anything else quite like it this season.
