Yumi's comment :
"Since the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami happened, I’ve created several performance works based on ‘Shake’ with my collaborators. That was not because we wanted to make a performance piece that used devastation for our own artistic drives, but wanted to create a work to find a ray of hope within the disastrous events and within ourselves. They said there are two ways of conducting the ancient ritual of Chinkon 鎮魂- the reposing of the soul. Tamafuri(たまふり- is the calming of the soul of the deceased. Tamaokoshi たまおこし- is the awaking and energizing of the soul of the deceased. In this 5th year anniversary event, I would like to dance of Tamaokoshi for shaking and awaking our soul and spirits."
