Martin Messier ^QC/CA — 1 Drop 1000 Years

Returning to Tokyo for his third appearance since the very first MUTEK.JP, Montreal’s Martin Messier unveils a mesmerizing new work. 1 Drop 1000 Years channels sound, light, and water into a visceral exploration of ocean currents and the urgent realities of climate change. Ripples expand into an overwhelming wave of sensation: a performance that is as meditative as it is monumental.
