A passionate amateur is training hard to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Games, alongside elite Japanese athletes. Day and night, the squad challenges members to achieve harder and harder feats that push forward the limits of their endurance, agility, and mental fitness. As they pump in oxygen and pump out perspiration, they also start to distill the vital essence of sport, being both“in the moment” and connected to eternity.
Members of Unlock Dancing Plaza are renowned for their exploratory mix of creativity, fun, and self-awareness. Here, the contemporary dance company joins up with the amazingly athletic performers from Namstrops, a Japanese group with a special focus on kinetic energy, and SunFool, who designs the show's striking pop-up paper artworks. Teaming their individual talents in this vibrantly energetic production, the artists stirringly connect sporting endeavor to goal-setting and self-fulfillment for young audiences.
