sheep #1

US Premiere
(A new version with live music)

Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exuperys writings, sheep #1 is the adventure of a sheep in search of the meaning of life. The performance is in the style of Microscopic Live Cinema-Theatre, where the performer manipulates small characters who are magnified with a video camera and projector.  This creates an intimate dream-like experience by combining cinematic presentation and live operation. An abstract storytelling, sheep #1 is presented without spoken words, accompanied by Electroacoustic soundtrack and a live musician.

Sachiyo Takahashi is an artist, composer and musician whose work centers around storytelling.  Compositing sensory elements in a minimalist manner, she explores the border between narrative and abstraction to generate fables for the subconscious.

Sachiyo founded Nekaa Lab in 2006 together with other "lab members" (stuffed toys and tiny figurines). She has been producing performances, installations and writings, while observing human nature from alternative perspectives.  Sachiyos Microscopic Live Cinema-Theatre  unique performances projected from a miniature stage  has been appraised as a quirky yet imaginative merging between theatrical and cinematic experiences. 

Her recent project Everything Starts from a Dot has been awarded The Jim Henson Foundation Workshop Grant in 2017 and Production Grant in 2018. It will premiere in November 2018 at La MaMa (Manhattan) as a part of Puppet Series.

Sachiyo currently lives in Brooklyn yet sometimes can be seen strolling the back alleys of Japan, where she originated.
