A lecture performance referencing several distinctive scenes from OZU Yasujiro’ s films Early Summer (1951), Tokyo Story (1953) and Tokyo Twilight (1957) to reenact and analyze the body movements of the characters in simple form. From the unnatural but calculated movements and gestures of the characters in the scenes, their genders and age groups as well as their relationships within the family are read in a choreographic perspective, analyzed and scored in search of new discoveries.
