Commentary (English version)

"Stille" (silence, stillness) between "Klang" (sound, resonance), or "Klang" between "Stille".
As "Klang" and "Stille" rise in the space of Ebihara Shoten, which has a history of 93 years, I am interested in the various times and their transformations that differ from the time that lies in our daily lives, which can be glimpsed when the dancers' expressions that were thought thoroughly appear right before our eyes. (From the program notes of the first performance)

Commentary (Japanese version)

　Klang(＝音、響き)の間に挟まれるStille(＝沈黙、静寂)、もしくはStilleの間に挟まれるKlang。93年の歴史を持つ海老原商店の空間内にKlangとStilleが立ち上る中、ダンサーが考え抜いた表現が現前することによって垣間見える、日常に横たわる時間とは違う様々な時間とその変容に、私は関心があります。（初演時のプログラムノートより）
