Performance art:Escape from Anonymous(e) -Improv Orchestra for the world-(2017)
Performance date: 2017 November 18th Saturday PM4:30hr (runs Minutes – probably 40min) NDSM Tt. Neveritaweg 61, 1033 WB Amsterdam, Nederland.
“We have to believe that there is hope for the world of the future. Escape from Anonymous(e) is a journey to rediscover individuality – the freedom that is repressed by the monotonous convenience of everyday life and suppressed by social norms. It is the first art project in Europe by Sebastian Masuda, artist and pioneer of Japan’s Harajuku Kawaii culture. This project invites participants to witness the threat of Anonymous(e) and take part in escaping the system. Escape from Anonymous(e). What does Anonymous(e) mean to you? Is it a State? Terrorism? Oppression of free expression? For this participatory performance, we will draw on the voiceless urge to escape from Anonymous(e). Will you escape from Anonymous(e)?”
オランダ・アムステルダムにある元造船所がアートエリアになった『NDSM』で開催された増田セバスチャンによるアートパフォーマンス作品。
テーマは「アノニマス（匿名・無個性）からの脱出」。
NDSMにアトリエを構え、約2ヶ月間住み込みで作品を制作して現地のアーティストやアクター、一般参加者と共に1日限りの作品を作り上げる運河沿いのエリアで行われる野外公演。
ネズミのマスクを被った俳優陣、ストーリーに合わせて楽曲を奏でるミュージシャン、カラフルな衣装のパフォーマー、白い覆面を着用した観客と全員で1つの作品を作り出します。
1990年代に演劇・パフォーミングアートの世界からキャリアをスタートさせた増田にとって原点回帰となる作品です。
