Kimono - A Story Through Design
Have you ever noticed the variety of designs on kimonos? They’re often very bold and embellished and each kimono seems unique. It’s as if each kimono tells a story. In fact, that’s exactly what they do. A kimono can have many designs, and each design can be significant to the person’s life. Even the color is part of the story. Some kimonos are very complex, reflecting the person’s status, wealth and their tastes. The symbolism on kimonos is as varied as the wearers, and may even allude to virtues or specific emotions that individual associates with.
Like a kimono that one wears, the upcoming fireWALL Dance production Kimono also tells a story. But not all kimonos are bright and bold. It depends on the story being told. Mark C. Thompson's new production new work, Kimono, is a dark and disturbing movement in parable form. It tells the story of a man who has been victimized. But it also tells the story of transformation.
In Kimono, the traumatized man (an artist), begins to reconstruct his life with the help of a woman who appears on his doorstep. He reconstructs his life through his artistry, by creating beautiful kimonos. Together, they discover the will and courage to call out, expose, and symbolically drive back the predator. One piece at a time, one design at a time, a life is transformed.
