The neighborhood of Tokiwabashi (Tokiwa- bridge) on the Asano-River is a gateway between this world and the next world. It is the area where people from the next world occupy 'The House of Asanogawa (Asano-River)'. Together we can visit this house to meet them.
Experience a repose of souls in dance in 'The House of Asanogawa'.
The dance is a ritual of revival to prepare for a new divinity beyond our daily lives. Our souls will be calm and will turn into pure water drops in the Asano-River , which before long, find their ways to the vast expanse of the sea.

Sokerissa!
（Performance / Tokyo）
“Sokerissa,” a word freelance dancer, choreographer Yuki Aoki coined himself that sounds similar to the expression “Soreike” (meaning “Go for it!”). In 2007,he launched a dance troupe called “Sokerissa,” in the first show.
Since then, the group has given numerous stage and street performances, as well as appearing in symposiums and art events across the country. Aoki believes that everybody has their own history of their lives on their bodies, and celebrate all of us as “being simply human.”
