2019
Futuristic Space is a Japanese production that opened and premiered at the Yokohama Dance collection 2019. The project combined Israeli and Japanese performers. In this creation, Rothschild collaborated with the Japanese sculpture artist Ohmaki Shinji , whose work Liminal Air Space-Time was integrated with the performance on stage.
Futuristic Space tells a story set in a world where time has stopped, making it impossible to discern at what point in time the story takes place. An overwhelming event has gathered a group of people from different places who do not know a thing about each other’s past.
Each character in Futuristic Space carries an unknown, dark and complicated backstory into the new collective reality. They lean on fragments of memory to create together a vaguely familiar world. The work tells of this process through images that integrate the elements existing in every community: death, madness, joy, grief, curiosity, imitation, despair, yearning, sadness, anxiety and fear.
