Читать все подробности
Sankai Juku, the butoh dance troupe co-founded by Amagatsu Ushio in 1975, presents "KOSA" in Seattle. Butoh originated from Japan's post-war avant-garde, and Amagatsu describes his art as "a dialogue with the gravity." Dancers, with shaved heads and bodies powdered white, perform with deliberate slowness, often repeating minute gestures.
The performance employs spare scenic backgrounds, delicate lighting, and a range of sounds from drumming to silence. Movements may be almost imperceptible, focusing on isolated body parts such as feet or fingers. Ritualized patterns fracture into sharp sequences, and the overall effect is one of emotional stillness. This is a deep, concentrated exploration of form and gravity.
