Jeremy Wade
there is no end to more

Saturday, December 5, 7:30 PM

Japan Society presents the world premiere of its commission to Bessie Award- winning American choreographer Jeremy Wade. In a bold and violent juxtaposition of movement, text, animation and video of manga (Japanese comics) drawing, Wade takes a playful and cynical look at consumerism and Japanese kawaii (cute) culture- from the infantile fluff of Hello Kitty to teenage doe-eyed love portrayed in anime- exploring its ubiquitous influence on the world today.

Wade, who is based in Berlin, directs there is no end to more, a solo actor/ dancer Jared Gradinger in collaboration with Brooklyn-based Japanese manga artist/ illustrator Hiroki Otsuka, Berlin-based video artist Veith Michel, musician Brendan Dougherty and architectsKatja Mitte and Henning Ströh with text cowritten by Wade and visual artist/ writer Marcos Rosales.
