Figaro Festivo is a Japanese festival take on Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). I ‘marry’ Mozart’s classical opera with Japanese festival dance rhythms of Bon-Odori and Awa-Odori. The marriage is witnessed by the audience who are then invited to dance along with the performers in a circle. So let’s welcome each other and Mozart who will come down from the heaven with his music and dance with him. He would love it.
In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.
