TIME is a masterful collaboration between Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, sought-after multidisciplinary artist Shiro Takatani and internationally renowned dancer Min Tanaka. Together, they have crafted a poignant theatrical dreamscape that transports “time” beyond reality.

With references to and conceptual roots in Mugen Noh, a category of Japanese Noh theatre, TIME transports the audience into a riveting dreamscape. Featuring an original score by Sakamoto, captivating visual design by Takatani and a heartrending performance by Tanaka, TIME unfolds through a series of moving images on a watery stage, accompanied by music and sounds created specifically for this work.

TIME was Sakamoto’s final theatre piece and it seamlessly fuses performance and installation to deliver a meditative theatrical experience like no other.
