A stunning vision. External Cephalic Version by Koki Nakano

Koki Nakano releases a stunning video to accompany his piece ‘External Cephalic Version’ yesterday 10th June, from his upcoming album ‘OceanicFeeling'.

Directed by Benjamin Seroussi the new video has been choreographed by famous french choreographer Marion Motin, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Madonna, Dua Lipa, Stromae, Rambert Dance Company amongst others.

The title, "External Cephalic Vision", refers to the process of turning the fetus in the womb for the sake of a safer birth. Adding another layer of poetry to a song inspired by processes of motherhood, Marion Motin this time shares the stage with her son.

With the freedom of youth evident, a warm and playful atmosphere is created as the two dance in parallel. With a blue sky, clouds and the Mediterranean sea (Calpe, Spain), they are the viewers in the labyrinth of "La Muralla Roja", a sublime coloured fortress inspired by the North African kasbah. The video pays tribute to Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill, who passed away earlier this year.
