Tryptophylia

The original soundtrack is available on Bandcamp.

The performance is based on marginalized people’s remembrance of strings: knitting, weaving, tying, and binding. The performers use these actions against their stereotypical functions: instead of manual labor conventionally for women, we are exploring space, seeking connections, and sharing pleasure. 

It premiered on December 12th, 2023, in Wharf, Yokohama, Japan, in the frame of the YPAM (Yokohama Performing Arts Meeting) Festival.
