"Chaotic Pregnabcy"

Enigmatic phenomena in our search for subliminal mutual communication.
Traces for existence and testimony about the fear, anxiety, and expectation.

A certain body sensation welling up within exposes itself as a physical thought in an act of collecting and developing what spontaneously comes out of the body. The body is constantly changing its appearance according to sensory perception. Based on this concept, face the emotional turmoil and anxiety over substantiality in daily life, show the body for what it is, and you will see your body as a phenomenon that is responding to changes at all levels of awareness.This performance's theme is the anxiety of own existence and tidings, which bring us ambivalent spirit and paradoxical behavior. KITAO hope to focus on the concept of discord within the visualized superficial communication.

CHAOTIC PREGNANCY (Coined words) is acceptance that a person lives with entanglements, trying not to untangle such intricately interrelated ties but dealing with part and all of them homogeneously.

Mishima's HANJO

HANJO is the old drama for traditional NOH
（NOH：Japanese classic theater）.
The theme of HANJO is the pathos for crazy lady waiting the lover's coming.
Yukio MISHIMA modified the theme in his text for modern NOH to the humanity problem for a conviction which will no be able to changed. The ending of his arranged story inspired KITAO.
While pursuing the theme (Frigidity carried by Painless Civilization and Self-Announced Identity) deeply and essentially, KITAO will seek to imbue her performances with "corporal thinking" through her physical expression and spatial presentation. She is working from a human body concept that arises from constant yet often latent human questions (including the problem in the present-day life and Society) and is developing solo dance performance.
KITAO is thinking through the body sense (by sensual-thinking) and hopes to give the thinking time about the illusionary truth. We meet (or make) a lot of fragmentary information and remembrance.
And........., We sometime lose the realities.
