Known for his “danced theater” based on everyday gestures, Toshiki Okada – together with his company chelfitsch – opens a new chapter in his career. Created in the aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake and nuclear accident in Japan, Current Location questions the notion of change in a world where reality appears uncertain, while Ground and Floor reflects on mobility and memory.
