We Are The House: Salon

Tomoko Mukaiyama

WE ARE THE HOUSE is a question mark that invites us to fantasize and think about our needs, about our lives with each other and as part of a natural and technological world. In theatre Likeminds pianist and director Tomoko Mukaiyama creates, transforms and deconstructs the house. Traditionally, the house is seen as a shelter that offers protection against the elements from outside, but does it protect us from danger from within? Also, the house is seen as guardian of the unguarded moment, a source of creativity, from which we face the world. But can we build this house anywhere, even without the walls that give us privacy? In salons of the house, artists and experts present a tea ceremony, performances and discussions. With, among others, physician and activist Rebecca Gomperts, artist Noa Jansma and filmmaker Kiriko Mechanicus. Throughout all this, associations from Amsterdam-Noord make themselves heard. Including a local choir, Colourful Goodies, an Iranian organization for meaning and meeting and an initiative against waste and for connection. The salon is a space where people, who may never have seen each other before, come together, connected by themes of the various presentations. The interaction between artists, experts, makers from Amsterdam-Noord and the public varies through the different presentation forms (lecture, video work, ritual, performance, offering something). This gives the public the opportunity to participate in different ways (dialogue, sitting together, walking, standing or lying down, while all senses are addressed).
