Synopsis:

Strange and bewitching, Planet [wanderer] is the intriguing result of a collaboration between renowned choreographer Damien Jalet – a collaborator of Madonna, Thom Yorke, and Marina Abramović, among others – and Japanese visual artist and scenographer Kohei Nawa.

Both have a fascination for transforming shapes in space. In this dreamlike piece, they confront the bodies of eight dancers with shifting materials and textures, creating a visceral meditation on the bond between people and planet. Their bodies move back and forth like reeds, in a fragile balance between power and vulnerability, harmony and survival, destruction and evolution.
