30 year-old Hiroaki Umeda is a performer of rare intensity, whose solos Adapting For Distortion and Haptic (2008) are an intriguing mix of art and dance.
Based in digital-obsessed Japan, Umeda relentlessly seeks to reveal what humanity there remains once you're plunged right at the center of technological mutations.
So expect the unexpected.
