TRANSLATION for ALL
トランスレーション フォー オール
Considering the translation of physical expression
The term “translation” comes from the Latin word for “carrying over” or “saying in a different way.” There are all sorts of barriers on the road to delivering physical expression to audiences. The various works are taking up the challenge of overcoming them through diverse techniques and opening up accessibility to ALL, meaning all kinds of people. The task is to share the thoughts and sentiments imbuing the works with people with disabilities, people who speak different languages, and all other people, and to link this to further expression.
