LIFE WELL is a collaborative stage performance by Sakamoto, Takatani, and Noh performer Mansai Nomura and other leading figures in the contemporary Noh world. The production was staged where LIFE−fluid, invisible, inaudible… was installed. The piece is partially based on the works of the Irish poet and playwright W.B. Yeats, which were influenced by Noh, in addition to modern Noh pieces influenced by Yeats. LIFE WELL created an entirely new piece, cohering the two works into one."
