In Performance: Jeremy Wade’s “there is no end to more” (NYC/Berlin)

Jeremy Wade
there is no end to more

Thursday, December 3, 7:30 PM
Friday, December 4, 7:30 PM — Post-Performance Discussion
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.
