face-armour — phantasmagoria — technological topography — iridescent futures — spectrum in repetition
Atsumori is dance piece for a quintet and a luminous stage. It is intimately inspired by the homonymous Japanese Noh theatre piece written in the XV century, where a ghost of a child-warrior, who had been killed in combat, wonders the battle field hoping for revenge, ultimately finding reconciliation with his new reality: that of being a spectrum.
