The Japanese choreographer Emi Miyoshi borrows from this story the "unbearable silence" that she discovered in the landscape of Eastern Japan after the destruction by the tsunami in 2011. Even now, many people and valuable landscapes around the world are repeatedly being destroyed by catastrophes and wars. The "silence "After the destruction, the choreographer Emi Miyoshi would like to contrast life. In a paradoxical way, however, she is fascinated by this silence in which we rediscover our humanity across borders, cultures and times."

In her installation, Emi Miyoshi deals with the “unbearable silence” she feels in the landscapes of Eastern Japan after the destruction caused by the 2011 tsunami. She uses this silence as a prototype and motif for landscapes destroyed by war and catastrophes all over the world. The jury is impressed by this work, which moves elegantly between dance, music and visual arts and, as if by the way, touches the great catastrophes of the world. In order to find her form of expression, Emi Miyoshi works closely with visual artists and musicians. The installation character of her work is impressive and opens up exciting worlds for dance. In “Morinonaka” Miyoshi succeeds in an impressive way in negotiating the subject of destruction and developing a brittle, simple beauty in the process. - jury
