For the 4th release in our "𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗴" podcast series, we present a recording from an audiovisual performance by Akiko Nakayama and Eiichi Sawado, recorded at Under The Rug on October 4th, 2025 at Nydalen Fabrikker in Oslo.

Closing the second night of the festival, the duo transformed the room into a space of slow release. As dancers settled, sitting, lying down, or quietly drifting, the performance unfolded as the festival’s final breath.

Through her signature Alive Painting, Akiko Nakayama brought pigments, liquids, and light into constant motion. Projected in real time, colors collided, merged,and dissolved into hypnotic forms embodying what she describes as “the meeting of two colors that represent the dance of yin and yang.”
Alongside her, Eiichi Sawado shaped a delicate sonic landscape of experimental tones and evolving textures, moving in deep dialogue with the unfolding visuals.

Together, they created a fluid audiovisual ritual where painting, sound, and light became one living organism, slowly dissolving the dancefloor into the closing moment of the festival.
