Renowned Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara's work, Obsession, is inspired by the surrealist short film Un chien Andalou by Luis Buñuel. The work was featured in several international festivals since its premiere at La Passerelle, Scène Nationale as part of the Art Rock Festival in Saint Brieuc (France) in 2009. In the duet, an inner obsession tears apart the conscious. Impossible desires become reality only through irrational love. Love is crystallised into the seasons by death...
Saburo Teshigawara formed KARAS with Kei Miyata in 1985. The aim of the group was to search for a “new form of beauty”. The following year, KARAS first won great acclaim in France, and then in other European countries, Asia, Oceania and the U.S. Saburo Teshigawara has developed an artistic language in his works which contains a new orientation for contemporary dance in Japan and beyond. In the interaction of diverse artistic elements – music, movement, fine art, film – the choreographer and his company create poetic spaces that inspire the originality of his language of movement, with an impressive sense of composition and a high sculptural sensitivity.
