Old school cinema
Morges has the dinkiest cinema I’ve seen in the longest of times. The seats have ample bum space, in red velour, and it still has an intermission. It even has a school bell to say that the show is about to start. Retro!

Computers galore
Bean made me a very personal computer for my desk. It sits proudly in front of my keyboard.

Kodo!
It finally happened! After years of wanting to see them, I have finally seen Kodo perform live and it so lived up to my expectations.
We look forward to sharing the wondrous and sacred “mystery” that lies deep within Japanese folk arts with audiences throughout Europe. The piece was created with the idea that theatre-goers would experience the mood of mystery that they meet at a temple or a shrine, or when you go into the forest – places that are removed from daily life. A feeling that emerges from deep darkness.
Amidst reverberations like rumbles in the earth large serpents coil, demons and lions move wildly. They surface from the gloomy dark, eerie at times, and in some respects, even nostalgic… This work fuses Kodo’s real worth, the dynamism of taiko expression, with the wondrous beauty and true charm that lie within rituals expressing the worship of myriad gods and reverence for nature that have been traditions in Japan since ancient times. This performance takes you on a voyage to the extraordinary, to a mysterious realm that lies in the beyond.
