dumb type: memorandum
Los Angeles Premiere
Times and prices
High-speed visuals stir perceptions, electronic noise jostles the mind and silhouetted figures take on poetic significance as Japan's groundbreaking media and performance collective dumb type makes its Los Angeles debut with Memorandum. A frenetic audio-visual spectacle that combines inventive video projection techniques, live dance and fragmented narrative, the piece explores the importance of personal visual memory in an increasingly technology-driven society. Sensory overload is both the medium and the message as dumb type offers a truly unique examination of the mechanisms that control our perceptions.
A presentation of the Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series.
Supported by The Japan Foundation through its Performing Arts JAPAN program
