This is the latest work by London-based dance artist Chisato Minamimura, who has performed in more than 40 cities in 20 countries. What is the same and what is different between the sounds that she, who is also deaf, perceives and those perceived by those who can hear? And how can "inaudible sounds" such as "sounds of light" and "sounds of shadows" be expressed?

Chisato Minamimura, an artist who pursues "the possibility of expressing sound visually," and Kim Ito, Pijin Tshigoh, and aokid, who have attracted attention for their unique activities, will meet for the first time. The four artists, who are meeting for the first time, will hold a series of workshops to vividly depict "inaudible sounds" by using sign language and subtitles as items that add color to the stage.
