Green Table (2009)

photo : Toshihiro Shimizu		How to confuse yourself in a small galaxy of a dining table..... Like a sophisticated illustration of Maurice Escher, this piece draws you into a paradox in a most exciting way. Is it on the ground or in the underground? Are they a family or strangers? Are you looking up or down? Sequential crossover of the various sceneries will be profiled on the table, or in the table, or maybe under the table. JunJun and Monochrome Circus present their great collaborative dance piece with a specially orderd table with fresh grass on it. Borrowed a title from a masterpiece of Kurt Jooss, this piece tries to suggest the solitude of the individuals which used to be a social issues rather than a personal issues.
