Vienna based Japanese artist Michikazu Matsune is known for his absurdly poetic and
notably realistic performances that reflect our being in today's globalized world.
His work All Together, joined on stage by Frans Poelstra and Elizabeth Ward,
features stories of people they encountered in their life, people they lost contact
with and people who cannot be here with us at this moment. It might be a sister,
childhood friend, teacher, first-love or even star-artists. Three performers - who
come from different places in the world - remember them, dedicate a dance to them
and sometimes become them. Bringing together the personal and universal, the real
and imaginative, All Together connects what is absent to what is present and those
who are here to those who are not here. No matter if we love or hate one another,
as a matter of fact, fortunately or unfortunately, whether you are here or not, we all
belong together.
