Fujiyama Annette is a dance/theater company run by innovative 30-year-old director Nay Hasegawa. Named after an imaginary French-Japanese model, the group mixes video projection, dance, music and art in unique works that use body movement instead of words to tell stories. Its newest, POF — The Proof of a Family, was first performed in conjunction with the Tokyo Performing Arts Market last year. The piece investigates what it means to be a family, focusing on the ties that bind the social unit together. Rob Schwartz
