:Modality Company is a 33-minute live performance. It's about the daily life in an office, taken from Yoshimitsu Morita's films "The Family Game" (1983) and "Lost Paradise" (1997). This performance explores the conflict between form and formation through a strict looping structure. The narrative field is deliberately limited Events are forced to occur with a minimum amount of information
The initial spark came from Steve Reich’s music piece--Drumming(1970–1971)

But today, ex-post, I know it was the arrow that was the
most important, so in telling this I move it to the forefront, from
a myriad of undifferentiated facts I extract the configuration of
the future. But how can one describe something except ex-post?
Can nothing be ever truly expressed, rendered in its anonymous
becoming, can no one ever render the babbling of the nascent
moment, how is it that, born out of chaos, we can never encounter
it again, no sooner do we look than order . . . and form . . . are
born under our very eyes? No matter. Never mind.
