Description Butcher Boys is a new collaborative work created by director/performer Tony Yap and performers Brendan O’Connor and Jessi Lewis – who have worked from memory to create a work of sincerity and openness that speaks of the connection between father and son. Through Butoh, Suzuki and improvisation – they explore the psychological anatomy hoping to lay bare the triggers of past hurt, moving through and becoming. The performance space becomes a body installation, where audiences are allowed the freedom to move, immersing them – in turn influencing the dance.
