Based on his experience as an immigrant, he incorporates a cultural anthropological perspective into his work, looking at things from a different perspective than the norm rather than criticizing issues.

 

Takuya Fujisawa calls himself a choreographer but can be seen as a multi-talented artist. In the power behind his artistic vision, he is in contact with his material in all its parts: he writes lines, directs, choreographs, designs costumes, produces, carves branches and also participates as one of the dancers on stage. And yet: what is in the artist’s primary focus is the collective creative power of his ensemble.
