OMOI 思いthink

OMOI 思いthink
OMOI 重い physical gravity, mental gravity
OMOI 想い longing, loving someone
OMOI is like a distant thought.
It is not directly loving, or formulating an “I love you”, which is active. It is rather never to forget, to recognize that there is love between us, and to hold on to this memory as in a space external to oneself.
OMOI, the wind house, a dance and music piece, is in this space. Through sensations, images, memories, the public is transported on Uiko's journey in search of his home. Between Japan and Belgium, her memories and her questions, she seeks how to live on the border.
