Forest of Confession © Akihito Abe
Lost voices floating in the air Reaching no one, or nowhere
Gathering to make a forest
Forest of whispers and hidden confessions
Like a scream in a dream
Rihoko Sato
Sato has been showing her talent to work with the voice in the works with Saburo Teshigawara, narrating, reading poetry and novels, both live and recorded.
Now she digs in deeper into her experiment with the voice, as a material.
Her dancing body, and various forms of the voice as songs and whispers and more, create a unique atmosphere.
All fused in her poetic and sensitive world, we start a new journey into this labyrinth together with her.
