　　69 mins

　　MIHO Art House

　　XU Jun, an independent director recommended by Image Tunnel, has participated in the production.

　　Konishi MIHOKO, a painter who learned Chinese painting at Shanghai and enlightened her talent, leads and collaborates various arts such as dance (Japanese Butoh and Chinese Opera), costumes, music and painting. MANDARA ART aims at creating new arts. The dancer acts as an echo of the improvisatory music,while the work of the drawer is a reflexion of the constantly changing moment of the dance, reconstructed on canvases. Then the designer changes the paintings to costumes on the spot. New elements are added by the musicians during the performance. Painting, dance, costumes and music stimulate each other, chaos changes to harmony, and finally it catches the audience up in. The stage is vivified by energy.
