Members of the Norway-based Tenthaus Art Collective, Shahrzad Malekian and Ida Uvaas, will present their new performance Kizuna in October 2025.
Kizuna is a site-responsive work developed in and around Kanda’s Ebihara Shoten. Shaped through movement and embodied research, it leaves traces in the form of shared rhythms, presence, attentiveness, and moving images.
The performance is part of Malekian and Uvaas’ long-term collaboration STIM—a living, context-specific choreographic organism. STIM unfolds through a flexible score that shifts with each location, taking on a new title in response to its surroundings. Rooted in an inquiry into time, memory, belonging, and spatial narratives, the work treats public space as a layered and contested terrain, where movement becomes a mode of listening, tracing, and reimagining.
Previously presented in Norway, Singapore, and other sites, STIM adapts to each context with sensitivity to its history and social fabric. In Tokyo, the project takes form as Kizuna, engaging with Ebihara Shoten as both a structure of memory and a site shaped by visible and invisible systems of care and control.

Tenthaus Art Collective is an Oslo-based artist collective that has been working together in various constellations since 2009. Their art practice emphasizes process, focusing on community engagement, collectivity, and inclusivity.
Presentated by Tenthaus, the OVEN Network is a transnational network for artistic exchange. Rooted in collaboration the Oven brings together collectives across Southeast Asia and the Nordics to foster shared learning co-thinking and long-term engagement. We view art and design not as outcomes but as tools for observation friction and transformation.
It takes shape through art projects exhibitions research residencies workshops publications gatherings and moments of exchange adapting to the context around it. We welcome those with a shared curiosity to think collectively hold space for difference and explore new ways of moving forward.
