A collaborative work with two Japanese artists&#8212;distinguished percussionist Kuniko Kato, and dancer Megumi Nakamura, acclaimed worldwide since her days as a soloist with Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n&#8217;s Nederlands Dans Theater&#8211; Pleiades stems from the choreographic possibilities offered by Pl\u00e9iades, a mesmerizing score by Greek composer Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001) for a sextet of mixed percussion. On stage, Kato plays with and against herself while Nakamura, adopting a similar strategy, dances with her projected double, and a universe is kept in balance by the synergy, dialogue and counterpoint of the musical and choreographic actions.<\/p>\n<p>For more information please visit<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/event\/veggetti-kato-and-nakamura-pleiades\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/event\/veggetti-kato-and-nakamura-pleiades<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, May 2 2014 and Saturday, May 3 2014 Composed by Iannis Xenakis Percussion by Kuniko Kato Choreography by Luca Veggetti Dance by Megumi Nakamura at Japan Society &#8211; 333 East 47 St, NYC Performances begin at 7:30 pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32598"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37027,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32598\/revisions\/37027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
