Ordinary is a dance-theater work created by Atsushi Takahashi and Tomoya Kawamura. The piece takes “the everyday life; Ordinary” as its central theme, exploring the nature of daily life and the moments when this seemingly unshakable normalcy is suddenly taken away.

Spanning different historical and contemporary periods—including the societal shifts of the year 1933, the devastation of war, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami (often simplified as “Fukushima”), and today’s society—this work draws inspiration from testimonies, literature, and poetry of those who lived through the loss of the everyday.
Through a fusion of dance and theater, it asks a profound question: What is the meaning of the ordinary to all of us? The project seeks to illuminate the boundary between everyday life and its collapse, bringing to the stage the fragile line where the ordinary disappears—and what lies beyond it.
