The Invisible Dog (New York City) and BUoY Arts Center (Tokyo) are thrilled to present a performance by Chatori Shimizu & devon osamu tipp, as part of NAFAS TOKYO.

This performance is part of NAFAS, an international festival exploring the relationship between art and food with an exhibition of 70 artists and a series of performances, workshops and events.

Takenoko Lab is an experimental performance designed around the concepts of bamboo as food, and bamboo woodwind instruments (shō, shakuhachi).This experimental event will allow participants to physically experience the process by which a single bamboo stalk transforms from a bamboo shoot (food) underground, to a musical instrument like the sho or shakuhachi above ground, and finally to sound produced by human breath. Guests will be immersed in an unparalleled experience to ruminate on the multifaceted ways humans connect with the sounds, smell, and flavors of bamboo.

The performance will be followed by a Q/A with the artists
