Continuing its “Japan Transatlantic: Tokio-Berlin” performing arts series, the Japan Society will present the world premiere of the specially commissioned THERE IS NO END TO MORE by American choreographer Jeremy Wade this weekend. Wade, who won a Bessie Award for his 2006 DTW show, GLORY, combines text, animation, and manga video in this new multimedia production that cynically examines Japanese kawaii culture. Wade, who is currently based in Berlin, is the director and cowriter, with Marcos Rosales, of THERE IS NO END TO MORE, which will be performed by Jared Gradinger and features music by Brendan Dougherty, sets by architects Katja Mitte and Henning Ströh, and animation and video by Hiroki Otsuka.
