Cosmic Rhythm spotlights moments shared consciousness between artists of contrasting mediums.
Simultaneous performances brew haunting, impromptu piano and synth music, merged with dazzling visual projections, all while dancer Azumi propels traditional Butoh movement to stir up this artistic concoction and mesmerize the audience.
This hour-long performance blends a unique mixture of visual, sonic, and physical magic, grounded in elements of Asiatic culture and noise music, that holds audiences spellbound in a moment of spontaneous creation. Presented by Takuya Nakamura, azumi OE, Marton "JUICE" Gabor, and Sienna Berritto, Cosmic Rhythm questions the everyday reality we wade through, and highlights an innate search for a new purpose.
