The Why of the Lost is the new play Akira Yoshida is currently working on, as part of the Government of Navarre's DNA 2024-2025 program.
Synopsis: “A lost and aimless character wanders with few memories of his past. Without a clear purpose, he comes across a light in the middle of nowhere, searching for answers to an existence that seems to have lost all meaning. In this desolate and seemingly simple place, surreal events begin to occur. The space itself, as if it had a life and a will of its own, transforms and plays with him, enveloping the character in traps and deceptions, as if he were part of a chess game. However, the character doesn't realize that, deep down, the true struggle is against himself.”

"An encounter between two, an embrace, the sensation of the other, a communication without words, the perception of time immersed in a world created between two. A mutual support. A time that expands and stops as if it will never end."

A duo created by dancers and choreographers Akira Yoshida and Lali Ayguadé.

Hito is a duo born from the collaboration of two great friends, Chey Jurado and Akira Yoshida, who, after working together on several projects, reunited to create their own work: Hito.

Hito is a journey between two friends who constantly navigate and oscillate between simplicity and complexity, while searching for something external, unaware that it is already within them.

Hito has been performed more than 90 times in countries such as Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Austria, among others, and has won awards at the Paso a 3 and Masdanza competitions.

Hito has three versions: 15, 35, and 53 minutes, adapted for both street festivals and theaters.

“Burial of the Bark” tells the story of a character who, having lost touch with reality, continues his journey to nowhere, moving forward with no other purpose than to feel understood.
