"What happens when a good show doesn't know when to end?"
"Ship in a View, choreographed by Hiroshi Koike, ended with a powerful, glimmering image. A myriad of tiny revolving lights descended from the rafters, and one dancer, lying on a flat board, levitated up through this forest of lights. It was a beautiful, breathtaking ascension to heaven or a spiritual equivalent." Read review...

"Mysterious Voyage"
"People ambulating, zombie-like around the stage, bursting into spasms of American pre-postmodern dance - side falls, stag leaps, and barrel turns - flashed this viewer's memory back to "happenings" of the Judson-era 1960s. But this was "Ship in a View," a sprawling, 95-minute movement-based theater piece that marked the BAM debut of Japanese dance-theater company Pappa Tarahumara - part of the 25th Next Wave Festival, November 28 to December 1."

"Going Nowhere Beautifully: Do you always have to understand what you see?"
"Hiroshi Koike named his company Pappa Tarahumara after a Mexican Indian tribe. He has made dance-theater works based on Chekhov's The Three Sisters and a Gabriel García Márquez story, but his Ship in a View is anchored only in his own imagination and his seaside hometown in Japan." Read review...

"Lost at Sea"
"Hiroshi Koike, Artistic Director of Pappa Tarahumara and creator of "Ship in a View," appears to be a member of the "if it's inscrutable, it must be good" club. Koike's ninety-five minute reflection on Hitachi City, the provincial industrial town where he grew up in 1960's Japan, is often beautiful, but heavily laden with suggested psychodrama that verges on the irritating."

"A Seascape Dotted by Chaotic Bursts"
"Some theatrical pieces inspire a vague and intermittent boredom as they are performed, yet feel worthwhile by the time you emerge, blinking, into the theater lobby. Such was "Ship in a View," a work performed by the Japanese dance-theater company Pappa Tarahumara..." Read review...
