Matou — Ruri Mito
The Japanese word “matou” denotes wearing, putting on, or being dressed in clothing. Figuratively, it also refers to the process by which the outer layer of our skin is continually renewing and replacing itself, much as snakes shed their skin. Matou, a solo performance by dancer-choreographer Ruri Mito, explores the body as a mysterious, haunted vessel, impossible to comprehend or observe in its entirety because it is in constant flux, its cells endlessly dying and regenerating. Kim Dunphy, in the Sydney Morning Herald, called Matou a “mesmerizing spectacle, ghastly and grueling, but also gorgeous.”
Where We Were Born — Co. Ruri Mito
In Where We Were Born, Mito continues to scrutinize and explore the body as the defining element of human existence. Choreographed by Mito and performed by the seven dancers of her Co. Ruri Mito, the piece weaves and unravels the delicately and intricately connected dancers, creating one kaleidoscopic body.
