Synopsys
Inspired by the anarchic spirit of Japanese noise rock, 2045 Carnival Folklore is a fever dream of a science fiction story set after a worldwide nuclear disaster. The country once known as Japan has collapsed. Out of its ashes an authoritarian party called ANIKI has risen up, controlling the population through fear and feeding them human flesh. The story, however, follows a spy from the nether world, “Sun Ra,” who sneaks into the city; the movie is essentially his report. Themes of chaos and control run rampant, with a doctor and nurse team working for ANIKI and trying to control the sexual impulses of the patients in the psycho ward. Similarly, the control over the movie is often ceded to Japanoise interludes, like a performance from the Fukushima Mutant Gandja Turtles or Toshiji Mikawa and his influential noise rock band Incapactants. Anarchy reigns in both story and style. This is a world where people will return to nuclear power, because six months after a major disaster they’ve already forgotten. Come to think of it, that’s a world much like our own.

Plot
We all think that 2016 gonna be all right. So then, how to create 2016, nicely?
That’s the main purpose to organize this event. Musicians and Dancers are media, which are supposed to approach toward invisible things. They are trying to explain time and space sensibly. However, I reached to the conclusion that all of the opinions can be correct. So here, 6 participants will study and exchange the idea of time and space with the sprits of tolerance. Performance is the art of presence. I wont be able to anticipate how it will be, neither how it will look like. It is not possible to summarize by director, neither dictator. Just want to sketch the map, just want to draw the stream of consciousness, just want to reach to deep vulnerability. Those are the motivations by participants. Musicians and dancers will gather to the zone in Super deluxe from different area, so I will define FIVE ALIENS AND ELF as musical, and dedicate to Lemmy Kilmister and David Bowie. In the end, I will add my favorite quote by Voltaire “I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it."
- Junya Ishii

BO NINGEN
Enlightenment activists from far east psychedelic underground.Bo Ningen are from Tokyo, Gunmma, Tajimi, Nishinomiya, but all met in London.In 2006 Taigen (vocal & bass) met Kohhei (guitar) at a gig and they formed the first Bo Ningen duo. It was more noise than a straightforward rock or ‘band’ sound and they performed only once – an improvised set (end up being thrown cups and cans). In 2007, Yuki (guitar) met Taigen they started to jam 10 hours a day in a studio in Hackney without any musical structure, they were later joined by Monchan on drums and the present day Bo Ningen was formed.Being ‘psychedelic’ means to us that stand quietly / loudly in the middle of interzone and stare at both sides at once.
