- Dance short film shot during an ice storm in Iceland. The film takes inspiration from the feeling of loneliness and explores the Japanese concept called MA, the essential void between all things, a fundamental emptiness for life to grow.
- The Japanese language has a gift for describing situations and phenomena rendered ineffable in the English language; such as the moon's 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 Castillon's latest dance film explores 'Ma'-the 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. The project was shot during an ice storm in Iceland earlier this year with Paris-based dancer Fanny Sage and musician Awir Leon. ..."The feeling of loneliness is what made me want to create this project," says Sage, who has worked on both commercial and artistic projects as an actor, choreographer and dancer. "There is a contrast I love in Japanese culture which is a great source of inspiration to me- that emptiness and fullness can coexist. This is dance as it moves me: Fragility and strength."—Angel Lambo, Nowness, June 17, 2020
