Captivating the audience with his stoic ambition and playfulness in the co-production Mr. Creature with artist Itaru Sugiyama at F/T14, choreographer and dancer Hirokazu Morikawa presents his latest work, a collaboration with Osaka-based young performer Wataru Murakami and Kyoto-based musician Shonen Yoshida. Song Tree is set to take place in the rooftop garden on the 10th floor of Toshima City Office, Toshima Forest. In this space that recreates the once nature-filled Toshima City and allows for resting and learning about the mechanisms of nature, from plants to ecology, the audience encounters a new kind of cityspace woven by the three artists.
