| Description |
Kuu is created and performed by Yoshito Ohno, son of the man who made the butoh dance form an international phenomenon, the late Kazuo Ohno. A touching and beautiful tribute to his father, Kuu, which means emptiness, is, in Yoshito's sense of it, the body. The idea of emptiness resonates with the themes explored in the works by Yoshito and his late father - that of non-attachment and freedom. This performance is an important dance documentfrom a key voice in butoh, and is part of the Festival's 2011 tribute program to dance greats. Kuu was first performed in New York in 2007, and it's performance in Singapore marks the work's Asian premiere. |
