Employing the texts set off from the “audio description” which assists people with visual impairment, this project invites audiences with and without visual impairment to watch dance performances together. Produced by a curator Miyuki Tanaka, for 3 years from 2017 to 2019, the project was realized at KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theatre. As the continuation of the project, Tanaka works with a dancer Masako Yasumoto to create a duo performance. They will dissolve the border of what can be seen and what not, to question the meaning of watching a dance performance with others.
