CEEPORT is a performance exploring our perception of the tragic, as well as the tragedy of our perception. It moves away from the traditional hierarchies between performer and environment, between human and non-human, producing new modes of perceiving the relations between sound, body, material and light.

Inspired by the concepts of tragedy, pure duration and butterfly effect, CEEPORT invites the audience on a sensorial journey (a trip), where shapes and textures, physical intensities, architectural lines, sounds and colors create the visual flows of a 4D/four-dimensional music.

*ACT1 is a 3-day online streaming, allowing the audience to witness the building-up of the aluminium installation. *ACT2 is a live performance, where audience and artists gather in the same space to share an experience of present time. *ACT3 is a video installation that remains in the venue after the team has left, a documentation of the dismantling of the aluminium installation.

​

DURATIONSPACE is an installation project unpacking and recombining the elements from the performance CEEPORT. In DURATIONSPACE we reverse our relation to the audience: we invite the spectators to step into the installation while we explore unpacking the performative elements outside into new spaces.

The project followed an initiative of artist/choreographer Yurie Umamoto in 2012 to work on the creation of a solo on 'the tragic', and soon enough it evolved into a complex collaborative process. In development for over six years, the production process reflects on aspects of duration, cycles and timing as much as the performance-installation itself.
