Umi no Hikari - 海の光 The Light of the Sea

Umi no Hikari

Umi no Hikari (The Light of the Sea), is a dance show that explores themes of queer identity and its intersection with nostalgia, drawing inspiration and stylistic elements from video games, anime, and the post-digital/post-internet world. The project consists of three distinct choreographies: Kairi, Manami, and Kaito - structured around the concept of an arcade hosting three interconnected video games, guided by a digital magic warrior who serves as the host of this multidisciplinary experience.The concept of magic warriors in the show draws from the choreographer's affinity for Mahō shōjo characters in anime and video games, which resonate with their own queer identity.
Each piece within the show explores a unique aspect of the magical world of Umi no Hikari. "Kairi" delves into the nostalgic process, reflective moments, and nighttime activities people engage in to break free from societal norms and structures. "Manami" uses the connection to childhood and the nostalgic inspiration from the choreographer’s background and cultural influences. Lastly, "Kaito" examines the queer process of identity deconstruction and the internal and external experiences associated with it, portraying the inner warriors that queer individuals must cultivate to confront societal prejudices and negativity.
