 The Water of September ー A mon seul désir 

 
The threat of natural disasters has been repeated many times throughout history.
Is it because nature is beyond humanity or because of human greed that humans cannot overcome the threat?
Is it due to a chain of events?
Who is the threat to us?

ENIGMA 2012ー2018

 
 
2012年に京都で初演を迎えたパフォーマンス作品「ENIGMA」。その後、時間と場所を変える ごとに、「眠り」「分身」「拡張」「乖離」「境界」とテーマを更新して上演を行ってきた 「ENIGMA PROJECT」。タイトルの「ENIGMA=エニグマ」は、ギリシア語「ainigma=謎め いた言葉」を語源に持ち、英語で「謎」や「不可解なこと」を意味し、第二次世界大戦中にナチス・ドイツによって開発されたローター式暗号機の名前としても用いられました。

※創作過程   資料     ▶︎＞note
 
An etymology of enigma is a Greece word “ainigma” that means an obscure saying, and the word “enigma” was used for the encryption device deployed by Nazi Germany during the WWII. 
In 2012, a performance work “ENIGMA” premiered in Kyoto. Afterwards, it has changed as performed in different times and places.

2012 上演テキスト

 
眠りの幻覚が姿を現す
何かが私を苛立たせる
思考回路が膨張し、 意識が放電する
 
目覚めないために
私は眠らない
 

 
 

2013 上演テキスト

 

ヒューマンオーグメンテーション（人間拡張）によって、誰もがデジタルサイボーグに変身し、変身することができる。分身や合体さえ可能なSFのような世界が現実になりつつある。そう遠くない未来、私たちは身体とは何か、能力とは何か、人間性とは何か、自己とは何かという問いに直面するだろう。人生とは、個人が社会に主体的な行為をもたらすことができる範囲だ。テクノロジーによってその範囲が広がることで、社会との関わり方が変わり、「人間とは何か」の定義も変わるのではないだろうか。
未来のことはわからない。しかし、個人と社会がどのように絡み合い、どこに向かっていくのかを考えることはできる。今、私たちはどのような未来を思い描くことができるのだろうか。 
 2012 text
 
A hallucination of sleep reveals itself.
Something is gnawing at me.
My train of thought expands,
my consciousness discharges.
 
I don't sleep to awake.  
 

 

2013 text
 

Through Human Augmentation, anyone can be turned into a digital cyborg, transformed. A world like science fiction, where alter egos and even merging are possible, is becoming a reality. The opportunity to think about what is the body, what is the ability, and what is humanity and self, is becoming a reality. It will come to us in the not-too-distant future.
Life is the extent to which an individual can bring about acts of initiative in society. Technology can be used to expand its scope. The way people interact with society will change, and the definition of 'what it means to be human' may change as well. We don't know what the future holds. But we can think about the interweaving of the individual and the society and where it will lead. What kind of future do we envision?
