Takayuki Fujimoto/Kinsei R&D, an artist/company that creates works that fuse media art and performance using various digital devices, has created a work that examines issues facing the international community from the perspective of “Tolerance/InTolerance“. It was first performed in 2017 when the U.S. elected Donald Trump president. Now that the world is at the mercy of the COVID-19 disaster and the turbulent world situation, we will perform a reconstructed and revised version at the Chino Cultural Complex, Nagano, Japan. Continuing from the previous performance, ShinyaB from Temple University in the U.S. will participate as dramaturg, Toru Yamanaka, a member of Dumb Type, will compose the music, and Yukio Suzuki will join as a new choreographer. As a result, the work will evolve to present an intense and high-resolution experience.
The emergence and brutality of the human species are the fruit of the same root and are inseparable. But does that mean we are swallowed up by them?
It is said that archaic humans did not evolve for five million years. When homo sapiens appeared, they began slaughtering other animals. Their hands and knowledge turned into “power” and produced even greater power. Ingenuity promoted the progress of civilizations. Eventually, humans began worshipping almightiness. In parallel, prayers and rituals were performed to create strong bonds, and they were immensely effective in creating a unified community. Those who believed in other gods were oppressed brutally. The concept of “tolerance” had to be developed to allow coexistence with others. Communities eventually became nation-states, the highest authority reigning over all other social groups, and monopolized violence. Humans cling to violence. As nation-states, communities increasingly justified state violence. Weapons evolved from blunt instruments to sharp objects and finally to firearms. Creativity and cruelty are inextricable fruits of the same tree. Is it necessary, however, to be swallowed by violence?

T/IT: Regarding Intolerance, which challenged contemporary social-political issues from the perspective of “Tolerance / In-tolerance”, premiered in 2017 when Donald Trump was elected as president of the United States. The COVID-19 has completely changed our everyday life. T/IT will now be reconstructed and premiered as a renewal version in Toyama, Japan. With Yukio Suzuki as a new choreographer, the work will be sure to evolve into a stronger experience. In the stage where cutting-edge media arts and the body are fused, the dialogue of the actor and the movements of dancers intersect as we look back on the history of human battle and evolution.
