間 MA The Space between all things

The Japanese language has a gift for describing situations and phenomena rendered ineffable in the English language; such as the moons reflection on water, the therapeutic benefits of spending time in the forest, and sunlight streaming through trees. Inspired by the beauty of the untranslatable, director Neels Castillons latest dance film explores Mathe Japanese concept of the space between all things. Ma is the comfortable silence that fills conversation; it is the invisible but discernible warmth between a couple; Ma can exist in everything from flower arrangements to theater.
