"PIKA describes a flash of light and DON describes huge sound." The survivors of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki started to call the nuclear bomb PIKADON. Pikadon is an onomatopoeia. The Japanese language uses a lot of those onomatopoeic words. „pika“ means flash and light and „don“ sound. The word Pikadon means flash light with a huge sound. But Pikadon does not express any hate, anger or sadness. Our aim is the symbiosis of light and sound – like Pikadon. We started to create the Pikadon project to create a peaceful 21st century by communicating and expressing ouselves. PIKADON Tokyo- Berlin Live is a series of collaborative productions emphasizing the enrichment of life devoid of prejudice, dogma and borders. The trans -global group was initiated in 2004 by Seitaro Kuroda and founded togehter with Toshinori Kondo, Araki Nobuyoshi and Tadao Ando to create a place to express new form of art communication. The performance Pikadon explores live improvisation on stage, canvas and voice accompanied by live music, it is a resonance and fusion with each other in the world.
