The latest work by Go Ueki (PaniCrew), an award-winning director at the world's largest theater festival
The dance spectacle show "WASABEATS featuring Love Junx" is now available on DVD!
"WASABEATS" is a dance spectacle show that Go Ueki has been working on since 2014. It brings together world-class dancers to perform superhuman dance performances, expressed through innovative projection mapping and overwhelming sound pressure. The show has also performed overseas, and is a popular show that has been well-received both domestically and internationally as an entertainment piece that transcends nationality and language. In 2018, the show title was changed to "BREAK FREE presented by WASABEATS" and it had a month-long run at the world's largest theatre festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won the "BEST PERFORMANCE" award at the ASIAN ARTS AWARD, earning it worldwide acclaim.
This work will feature Ryohei Chiba (w-inds.), who starred in WASABEATS 2014-2016 and is active not only in Japan but also in Taiwan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc., teaming up with Go Ueki for the first time in about four years.
WASABEATS' latest work, "WASABEATS featuring Love Junx," is a collaboration with Love Junx, the world's first full-scale entertainment school for people with Down Syndrome, and is a story-based piece inspired by the upbringing of Love Junx dancer Matsudera Yu.
Also, as a storyteller, choreographer Anna Makino, who founded "Love Junx," gave a reading.
I hope you will take this opportunity to learn about Down syndrome and feel the infinite power of the Love Junx members.
The DVD includes a special edition of the final performance featuring Love Junx's Izumi Nobuteru, Inoue Ren, and Kumada Ryosuke, which were not available during the live broadcast on Streaming+, the viewer-only streaming service operated by ePlus.
The bonus footage will include interviews with the cast! What's more, those who pre-order during the special pre-order period from 18:00 on Sunday, August 30, 2020 to 23:59 on Tuesday, October 30, 2020 will also receive a booklet of stage photos. This is a great deal for fans who enjoyed the performance, as well as those who were unable to attend.
[Synopsis]
A child with Down syndrome who was originally said to have weak muscles dreams of becoming a dancer after seeing dancing on television.
