MICHIKAZU MATSUNE & MARTINE PISANI
Kono atari no dokoka
© Christophe Raynaud de Lage
In 2005, French choreographer Martine Pisani and Japanese-Austrian performance-maker Michikazu Matsune met at Tanzquartier Wien. In the years that followed, their paths crossed from time to time. The artistic relationships between Matsune, Pisani and Pisani’s partner, the Dutch painter and performer Theo Kooijman, give rise to a question: What remains of dance once the show is over?
Archives, personal memories, shared anecdotes, and imaginations are all used to trace their activities through the 1980s and 1990s. Kono atari no dokoka (Somewhere around here) is a place at once far away and oh so close, with blurry yet familiar contours, a journey through time and space. From a Kobe beach to the port of Marseilles, from Paris to Vienna or somewhere else yet, a collective memory starts to appear between the lines of personal stories. Between beautifully simple poetry, humour and, above all, tenderness, they reconstruct what’s left of the past to form a composite present.
The project premiered at this year’s Festival d’Avignon and is accompanied by a publication consisting of archive material.

Artist Bio
Michikazu Matsune
born in Kobe, Japan, has lived and worked in Vienna since the 1990s. At the crossroads between documentary and conceptual performance where poetry, humour, the absurd, and criticism meet, his work examines the relationship between identity and globalisation, action and language, public and private, as in Goodbye (2016), All Together (2018), or Mitsouko & Mitsuko (2021). Matsune teaches performance practice and is a visiting tutor at the University of Arts Linz and Iceland University of the Arts. He is currently part of the Mentoring Programme of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. michikazumatsune.infoMartine Pisani
born in Marseille, has been working as a choreographer in Paris since the 1980s. She founded the Compagnie du Solitaire in 1992 and has created over twenty shows, such as Le grand combat (1993), sans (2000), Undated (2017), and Bouillir le vide, un récital (2020). Her group piece Slow Down was shown at Tanzquartier Wien in 2005. Her playful and poetic world, far from all formalism, examines the relevance of movement and the artifices of performance. She lives near Paris with Dutch painter and performer Theo Kooijman, who has worked as a dancer, assistant, and set designer within the company since its foundation. ciemartinepisani.fr -
