 ----- with Tetsu Saitoh (doublebass), Takashi Seo (doublebass), Naoka Uemura (dance)
 ----- and YujiKobayashi's painting "The Forest"

Each year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art presents an exhibition named "Best Selection of the Year". For this exhibition "Best Selection 2012", Yuji Kobayashi was elected with his painting "The Forest". For this occasion, he asked to Tetsu Saitoh to perform life the music that he did composed one year ago for the vernissage of this painting, and he proposed to Nakoa Uemura and myself to present a dance performance based on this painting. The only indication that he gave to us was that, for him, the lady in the red dress was Naoka, and he saw me as the man with the two heads.
This dance performance was imporvised and we had the big privilege to be te first artist to be allowed to dance inside the walls of the TOkyo Metropolitan Museum. A wonderful experience, thank you Yuji, thank you Tetsu!.
