Film-Concert

Kinugasa’s film A Page of Madness (Une page folle in French) dives into the world of the Japanese avant-garde of the 1920s. This film remains an unidentified moving object in history, evoking Dada and surrealism, psychoanalysis, and the "neo-sensationism" of the time. The plot, of which one of the authors is the young Kawabata, takes place in an asylum; several scenes borrow from choreography and from mask theater. The mastery of editing and cinematographic techniques - fades, overprints, distortions - inspires the young Japanese composer, Mayu Hirano. She composes both the sounds of the film and electronics based on an instrumental trio while introducing the song of Noh, for the end of this mad page.
