Main content
A dance that unfolds not about emotions or stories, but as if tracing the trajectory of a movement.
At the 36th edition of "Dance OPAL2026," Akiko Kitamura, a choreographer and dancer active both domestically and internationally, will continue to recreate her signature work "Finks" (premiered in the 2000s). Students take on the challenge of this production, which was performed in 32 cities across 17 countries worldwide.
Bold visual effects intersect on stage with the meticulously crafted movements of dancers. Before touching, the drama inside and outside the body, woven by the very trajectory of movement, weaves a dance at every moment.
