ChampdAction suggested artist in residence/percussionist Tsubasa Hori to develop a performance for children in collaboration with Zonzo Compagnie based on her experiences as a newcomer in Belgium and the cultural bond with her home country. The roundABOUT #1 performance will be the first in a series that Zonzo Compagnie will produce in the coming years. Tsubasa takes the young audience to a hidden paradise, the spirit realm of our ancestors. The starting point is the ritualistic character of Japanese music and its connection with the spiritual world. Mysterious video images surround the audience, dancers welcome ghosts. The child's fantasy comes to life. In addition to all kinds of percussion instruments, Tsubasa also sings and plays the Japanese Koto harp. With roundABOUT, Zonzo Compagnie (Wouter Van Looy concept) creates a new reusable format: an arena for a soloist. The ring-shaped projection surface brings audience and performer close together. To Tsubasa Hori the honor of inaugurating this format.
