Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story GIFT at Tokyo Dome (2023)
Figure skating elevated to status of performing arts
3 March 2023 - 18 out of 19 users found this review helpful.
GIFT is an ice show like no other. The content is delivered as a unified story where ice skating, live music (Tokyo Philharmonic and GIFT special band), visual effects and dance are combined to present a deep introspection on the theme of aloneness and pursuing dreams. GIFT is a fully immersive experience where the viewer can interpret the meaning of the images, narration, and ice skating programs from different viewpoints. Hanyu is the solo skater performing with the technical quality and expressiveness that has characterized his career. In GIFT (where he is also the producer), Hanyu creates a new genre of sports as performing arts.
