FEAST ON...

HERE NOW by Ryuichi Fujimura

Performed together for the first time, Ryuichi Fujimura’s trilogy of solo dance works, How Did I Get Here?, How I Practice My Religion, and Fall! Falter!! Dance!!!, charts the artist’s 25-year journey as a contemporary dancer. Together they capture his journey reckoning with his body’s shifting capabilities and the passing of time.
Dry wit, poignant storytelling and fluid physicality.

HERE NOW Trilogy invites audiences to join in this reflection, interrogating the meaning and purpose of their own lives.

HERE NOW Trilogy is also presented as part of the 2025 OzAsia Festival.
