Noism0+Noism1“Morimur”

Schedule
2026.12.26 Sat - 2026.12.27 Sun
Venue
Playhouse

“Morimur” – Latin for “We are dying”. Loss and prayer concealed within J.S. Bach’s “Chaconne”, and a yearning for rebirth. This work, born of choreographer Jo Kanamori’s long engagement with the music piece, carries within it “solo for 2”, created in 2012, and now takes shape as a new work of dance.

To gaze upon death is to gaze upon life. Out of Noism’s continued exploration of body and spirit, a new dance is born.

Noism is Japan’s first dance company with a permanent residency at a theatre, basing its activities at RYUTOPIA Niigata City Performing Arts Center. There are three groups – Noism0 with selected professional members, professional company Noism1, and trainee company Noism2. Dancers selected by auditions from all over Japan and the world move to Niigata and work throughout the year. Since its establishment in 2004, the company has performed works created at RYUTOPIA both in Japan and abroad, and has been involved in activities that expand globally from Niigata to the world (International Activities Division), as well as community-based activities such as open classes for citizens and outreach to schools (Community Activities Division). The origin of Noism is “No-ism”. Without any specific principles, Noism aspires to create a new dance art form for this time and age.
