Melbourne based Australian performance company The Tony Yap Company (TYC) presents "E1-Aether" contemporary ritual solo dance performance. tyc is an ensemble of culturally diverse independent professional artists including dancer Tony Yap (Australian/Malaysian), visual artist Naomi Ota (Australian/Japanese), vocalist Ria Soemardjo (Australian/Indonesian) and Australian contemporary musicians Tim Humphrey and Madeleine Flynn. Japanese lighting artists Genta Iwamura and Rie Uomori collaborate with tyc for this project. Their vision is to create a multi-modal art-form that is intrinsically international and their unique artistic language represents a contemporary Australian-Asian experience.Audience experience in the time and space of the work reminded us a common spiritual foundation like a prayer for death before our eyes. - Mainichi Newspapers, Japan
