傀儡神楽 ALTER the android KAGURA
Corey Fuller + Break Ensemble x Synichi Yamamoto

The A/Visions program, which showcases the most forward looking audiovisual endeavors, will open the 5th Edition of MUTEK.JP on December 10th with a special double bill.

The opening performance sees the arrival of Alter, a humanoid robot, on the MUTEK.JP stage. In a unique collaboration with a Noh Actor for a ceremonial ritual dance called Kagura, the performance looks beyond our current challenges, in order to welcome a new era. Following Corey Fuller and his Break Ensemble will join forces with visual artist and long-time MUTEK.JP collaborator Synichi Yamamoto for a feast of synesthetic explorations.

From December 10th to 12th MUTEK.JP will return to Shibuya’s Stream Hall for it’s 5th anniversary presenting 3-days of groundbreaking performances of electronic music and audiovisual art. Despite the challenges of the ongoing pandemic the festival seeks to support the local creative community through continuing to provide a space for artistic expression and exploration. The physical program will be extended onto MUTEKs virtual festival platform (virtual.mutek.org), where all performances will be live streamed, and additional content including exclusive audiovisual performances, conferences, and virtual galleries are presented.
