...sure to provide a wild ride. The first scenes of Odeon (written and directed by James A. Carmichael ’01), are disorienting. For several minutes the audience sits in darkness listening to a techno-mix of answering machine messages. Following this is the illumination of a single neon light proclaiming that it is “open”—whatever “it” is. In the meager neon light are three simultaneous scenes: a young man reclining on a couch, a young couple in a restaurant booth and two friends...
...performances have garnered him three dance awards for freestyle interpretations of the rote game that at first glance seems more suited to copycats than creative artists. In February, Aldea was the first DDR performer around to use a cane during a routine. More than 200 people packed the neon-lit Metreon showroom to watch the bespectacled dancer clamber onto the dance platform and coolly follow the game's flashing foot-pad squares while adding a show-off flair all his own.

In front of a long desk where Beat holds court is a large half dome with flashing neon lights. Behind him in cylindrical pods are a contorted mannequin's torso, several fake strands of DNA and blinking white Christmas tree lights. Flanked by lesser television personalities and second-tier celebrities, Beat Takeshi presides on TV Tackle as the highest of Japanese pop culture royalty, an imperious entertainer whose every twitch and tick and grunt and sniffle elicit commentary...
