The Sound Room receives this multifaceted, polyphonic and immersive sound installation by Yasuhiro Morinaga. The Voice of Inconstant Savage (2023) theatrically juxtaposes a recitation based on a Portuguese missionary report in the 16th century, a chant of the ‘Kakure-Kirishitan’s Oratio’, which is rooted in Nagasaki Prefecture, a singing of the Karawara spirits of the indigenous Awá people living in the Amazon rainforest, and a chorus of Western Gregorian chant, questioning where the aesthetics of inconstancy lie in relation to the discourse of savagery that modern society is faced with.

Wednesday to Monday, 10 am to 6 pm.

Free admission, upon ticket collection on the same day.
