These are the reminiscence of Gigaku\, a performing arts tradition which became extinct more than seven hundred years ago. The late Mannojo Nomura V (1959-2004)\, a Kyogen master\, revived Gigaku in 2001 in the belief that the tradition of masked pantomime theatre travelled along the Silk Road\, absorbing local arts on the way to Japan. This is a documentary of the collaborative performance of multiple nationalities\, such as Chinese\, Korean\, Indonesian\, Indian\, Congolese\, and Japanese\, which resulted in an outstanding celebration of humanity. \n\nPhoto by Miro Ito (Media Art League) \nThursday\, April 20\, 2017\, 6:30 pm\nTenpyo Art Screening Series II \nDancing Flames in the Winter Night: The Ancient Capital of Nara\nDocumentary\, 25 min. \nIntroduction to the seasonal festivals of fire in Nara. The screening will include additional video presentations. \n\n Friday\, April 28\, 2017\, 6:30 pm\n \nTenpyo Art Screening Series III \nGAGAKU\, Music for Eternity\n\nDocumentary\, 28 min. 2009 in addition to other videos of full performances of Gigaku. \nTranscending time and space for hundreds and thousands of years\, Gagaku\, the traditional music of the Japanese Imperial Court\, represents the spirit of an ancient time. Gagaku was introduced from its continental birthplace to Japan between the 5th and the 9th century\, becoming fused with ancient Japanese music and adopted in the Nara and Heian periods as the traditional music of the Japanese Imperial Court\, a tradition which continues to the present. Gagaku is the oldest orchestral music in the world. \n\n\nPhoto by Miro Ito (Media Art League) \nFriday\, May 19\, 2017\, 6:30 pm \nTenpyo Art Screening Series IV \nDATTAN\nVideo presentation of the original festival ceremony and a dance performance inspired by the fire ceremony Dattan.  \nRegister below > \n  \n  \n \n\nFriday\, May 26\, 2017\, 6:30 pm\nPhoto by Miro Ito (Media Art League) \n\nExhibition Artist Talk \nArtist Talk: Miro Ito\nRegister below > \n  \nFor profile of artist Miro Ito click here > \n  \n  \n  \n

As the 15 years old girl goes deeper and deeper into space\, the texts she sends take more and more to reach the earth; the film simultaneously follows her battles and the boy’s life as he receives her texts over the years. \nThe short anime was adapted into an audio CD\, a short story and manga. \nShinkai is most notable for directing the critically acclaimed anime Your Name or Kimi no na wa. It was a huge commercial success becoming the fourth highest grossing film of all time in Japan\, and the highest grossing anime film worldwide. \nDon’t forget to bring your lunch (bento)!
