hi, 
i saw them several times in paris france, it's really interesting, they
really know how to use the different possibilities of minimalist dance,
electro music and very powerfull dense and speed video images, Shiro
Takatani and Ryoji Ikeda are very well for conversation, it's really easy to
discuss with them, you can check for information about their performances or
Ikeda >>

http://dt.ntticc.or.jp/

and the purpose of the performance is really simple and very effective,
everybody should be intensevely touch by that, very dramatic themes, and
very nice and poetic ways of forms.
each form have a specific function, it's working very well
you're lucky, i dont know when they will come to france again...
