Triskelion Arts is pleased to present between, a new work by Mei Yamanaka, this February. Always, so many things happen at the same time in this world. The happiest and worst things are happening at the same time. Yamanaka wants to believe that there is a totally different world existing beyond the world we are in right now and explores the relationship between two people experiencing different distances at different times with this new work. Through bounding movements and a dreamlike soundscape, the performers embody different facets of a shared relationship with earnest strength. Sometimes, the relationship is like a mother and child, sometimes like best friends, sometimes like lovers, and sometimes simply two individuals. As they trace these ever-shifting boundaries, the widening divide between extreme closeness and extreme distance is revealed. Inspired by OK Cupid advertisements commonly found in NYC subways, Yamanaka takes interest in the color and shape of these ads intended to encourage people to join and use the online dating site… the design and aesthetic is the jumping off point for generating memorable images. Inside a colorful space of unexpected humor and bold colors, movements build and take shape to create, decipher, and punctuate the ever-changing relationships at play.
