In collaboration with three dancers, miu has developed a scenic lecture that forms the fifth instalment within his “Ex” series: A landscape of acoustic, literary, and choreographic elements. German, Japanese, and French text fragments enter into a coexistence that explores reading as a human mode of expression. miu invites the audience to a shared journey based on the examination of in_visibility, therein creating a stage language that involves visually impaired people.

The conception of a lecture for an audience with diverse access connects to the production of dance piece do white, which guested at the FFT last year. Fictitious texts resulting from the rehearsal process were retrieved for do white ex now, opening multifarious spaces, layers, and levels. The element of an open, artistically used audio description complements the linguistic landscape. The “Ex” series circles miu’s longstanding pursuit of reading in more than one language and his passion for paper as a medium. Through a composition of intertwining translation and interpretation procedures, miu processes stage performances that reflect his world of perception, enabling the audience to interrogate their own everyday lives.
