Being and Nothingness 存在と無

Masayuki Sumi

Ein Tanzstück aus Japan

A 70-years-old japanese dancer express his thoughts on "existance" after the two great earthquakes in Japan in a dance performance.

 

The guy had the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, 

he'd lost his house, dance studio and a lots.
He saw Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. 

 

Asking himself and thinking about "life and death of human", 

and "what does it mean being alive", 

 

Not having my body, even the existence of mine? 

How about me? Does it exist anywhere? 

Not alive and also not dead?
