AKEMI TAKEYA

Little Stories about S.O.S.: Survival Of Solo: Solo version 2014

2011-15. Little Stories about SOS : Solo Version 2014 ⇄ Performance Recipe Book Vol. 1 & 2 ⇄ Group Version 2015

The project is conceptualised in three distinct forms of realization, such as two performances – Solo and Group Version – and the Performance Recipe Book. The development of all formats is interconnected with a running process of each other, in order to make a documentary as well as a creative note simultaneously. It is made intentionally, so that Akemi Takeya proves and explores her artistic development until now. She will now complete the project with a new creation of the Group Version with 4 performers in Austria in summer 2015, developed in connection with the Performance Recipe Book Vol. 2.

The Solo Version is the interpretation of the first part only. The “32 interpretations of the original S.O.S.” are performed by a single person, revealing his / her body as a symbolic model – It is an emergency call. Akemi Takeya is sending out an S.O.S. In the medley-interpretation of 32 short stories the Japanese born Viennese choreographer welcomes us in her original, creative world mushrooming at the threshold between Asia and Europe.
