“Takashi’s Seasons” is a sequential live shadow puppet / video performance in which various scenes interpreting the four seasons are performed by a modern Utsushi-e artist. In the spring children are seen walking back to school with their school bags (the academic year begins in April in Japan). The proud performance of cicadas can be heard on a hot summer evening. Dragonflies smoothly glide in the cool air of a fall afternoon. On New Year’s Eve the chimes of temple bells are heard in the freezing winter night.
Takashi’s Seasons è il progetto di uno studente UCLA, Takashi Kawashima, che fonde le tecniche tradizionali del teatro Ustushi-e (una specie di teatro delle ombre jappo, precursore del cinema) con proiezioni ed effetti sonori manipolati in tempo reale.
Il risultato è davvero interessante, sul sito del progetto si può vedere l’opera in streaming o scaricarne il video.
