Metamorphosis, by Saburo Teshigawara

Virtuoso Saburo Teshigawara -- sculptor, poet, visual artist and “dance maker“ -- has received great honours for his choreographies and body installations both in his home country of Japan and internationally. Faithful to the culture of his homeland, Teshigawara is minimalist -- everything he creates is aesthetic, beautiful and pared down. It is also spiritual and subtle. His Metamorphosis, inspired by Kafka’s novels, is an art work filled with pain and breathtaking beauty. At its centre is the body’s constant changes, the cells’ constant renewal -- the metamorphosis: “Even when we believe we are completely still, our bodies are moving. That movement is life. To stop is to die. Life is like cycling -- if you stop you lose your balance and fall over. Life is balance in motion.“ More info:
