Description: Beyond the deep forest on the mountain by the sea, there was a valley. There, we found the remains of rain-fed rice terraces, now turned into a wetland covered with reeds. It seemed like a secret rice terrace. As I reflected on the long passage of time in which nature and human activity have continued in succession, I decided to create a work based on the traces of rice terraces hidden in the forest.

Wear the magic shoes (shoe-shaped devices), and when you step on the floor, a strange sound rings out, and colorful glowing creatures emerge from beneath your feet. These creatures move around, drawing the children’s interest. Guided by the creatures, the children chase after them and walk around in circles, and before they know it, they are stepping and dancing as if they were in a dance. The whole scene feels like a dance hall, making even those who watch it start moving their bodies naturally. Interactive installation to experience pitapat, created in 2018 Fantastic sounds and colourful creatures are born from children’s footsteps, creating the sensation of a living magical wonderland for players and spectators alike. The steps of the children chasing and playing with their creations turns into spontaneous dance, a viral rhythm that viewers can’t help but tap their feet to. By the same team that brought us Ratatap, a new interactive installation by Junichi Kanebako, Shinya Yoshida and Hiroki Inokuchi.

EXISDANCE is a coined word made from EXISTENCE and DANCE. Unity is projected onto the performers’ bodies, and the performers’ movements are tracked, causing the CG to change in real time. By creating the effect of the CG projected before your eyes as if it were truly real, the work aimed to create an unprecedented next-generation live performance show.
