Koma Otake makes his debut at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, opening this year’s La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival.

“In dancing this trilogy, I engage and converse with various You but one at a time. Friends, parents, siblings, spirits, streets, fields, and objects with personal memories all inspire and create memorable moments,” writes Koma. “The stage is all white. My painting hangs loosely. My movements are stormy and absurd. Dancing with You brings back memories, but a moment later, I dig my head into the ground, missing You."

You was commissioned and premiered by Danspace Project in 2023.
