OLTA and Leif Holmstrand are collaborating again. The performance piece is realized on a Noh theater stage (Umewaka Noh Theatre) in Tokyo and broadcasted live and shown at Malmö Konsthall. The performance at the konsthall is part of the program in connection with the exhibition “Leif Holmstrand ‒ Life of the Termites: The End” . Holmstrand and OLTA have previously performed together, then with the ten-day long performance work “Fake Bones” at Lilith Performance Studio in 2015.
“Amplifying breath and body” , a collaborative performance by OLTA and Leif Holmstrand, consists of several previous works.
The framework of this work, “Stand Play vol. 2,” was presented as a performance piece in Poland in 2018, and was based on the concept of creating actions and words from newspapers and caricatures published abroad in the early 20th century, and revealing the human body manipulated by information through the imitation of images created through the media. The concept of the project was to reveal the human body manipulated by information through the imitation of images created through the media. The performers wear masks representing animals. The performers are tied to a cradle-like structure made of sponge, which was invented in 2015 for “Fake Bones,” a collaborative performance with Leif Holmstrand, and while they cannot see what is ahead, they move forward as if in a “blind man’s fable. The performers are chained to a sponge cradle-like structure.
The performers signal to each other with gestures and cryptic language, falling asleep and waking up repeatedly amid the ambient sounds of a racecourse, a market place, or any other place in the city where frenzy and relaxation are repeated.
Leif Holmstrand created a new dress for this performance. The sound installation with bells suspended from speakers connected to microphones is a remodeled version of Inoue’s “Inner Loop,” a piece presented in Bangkok in 2018, for this performance. The sound of the bell is synchronized with breathing, and the positional relationship between the performer and the mechanism causes feedback of the sound, which is amplified steplessly.
The small voices of individuals are amplified and eventually taken over by the enthusiasm of the crowd.

The film was shot in a factory in downtown Tokyo, and the video and installations were exhibited. It was learned that the 1911-1930 construction of the Arakawa spillways saw the river enormously expanded by human hands, particularly Korean and Chinese immigrant workers. Many Koreans were then murdered as false rumors spread in the immediate aftermath of the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1, 1923. The Tokyo Skytree has brought big changes to this urban landscape, which is now packed with condominiums. Its inner workings remain, built on racial and economic divisions and a history of many people’s hardships. The Installation references the sketches collected by Kon Wajiro of temporary barrack structures built in the wake of the Great Kantō Earthquake, as well as the stage design by Murayama Tomoyoshi for a production of Georg Kaiser’s “From Morning to Midnight” — featuring work by Kon Wajiro and his team, “From Morning to Midnight” was staged at Japan’s first dedicated theater for “Western-style” shingeki plays, Tsukiji Shōgekijō, which was built in Taishō 13 (1924), the year after the earthquake.

OLTA, who have cut their daily life from a humorous and critical glance and play unconscious behavior in the city as a person and thing, perform “Hyper Popular Art STAND PLAY” in Kyoto near the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“Hyper Popular Art Stand Play” , which has been developed since 2017, creates stories through the functions of cities and the gestures and conversations of people in those environments.
The stage designed from the structural model of the New National Stadium JAPAN is reproduced in the theater, and “acting by ourself” and “watching what they perform” stand up in a nested structure among the actor and the audience, the city and the theater.

With this project we will develop a “learning forum” through tie-ups with cultural hubs around the Bokuto area (the northern part of Sumida City in eastern Tokyo), and through art-based thinking. We will use the implementation and verification of the project’s learning programs to think about the creativity needed for well-being, and to consider the value of local cultural resources from a moderate perspective.

They play a social role brought about by laughter in Noh theater.

“Reproduced laughing”
Laughter has human nature and social role, and many philosophers have defined humans as “animals who know to laugh” since ancient times. Henri Bergson writes that laughter can be assumed to be two conflicting, stiff feelings in one human being. Focusing on the group nature and social role that laughter has, we reproduced the laughter phenomena and gestures we witnessed in various places in everyday life with voice and gestures.
“My QR code”
The QR code drawn on the body connects to the SNS Line account “laughing”. There, you can see the video taken on a daily basis with a theme of laughter.
workshop”Laughing replica”
In the video work of the exhibition, OLTA looks for the nature and phenomena of “laughing” in the society, the self and others, and the emotions and functions caused by “laughing”. In the workshop, while touching the world of the works of OLTA and thinking about “laughing”, each expresses the image of “laughing” with a drawing or a mask.
