SANKAI JUKU PERFORMANCE
------------------------
Founded 32 years ago by Ushio Amagatsu Japan’s Sankai Juku has presented its enigmatic all-male butoh stylings to more than 700 cities in 41 countries. Last seen in Australian in 1988, Sankai Juku makes its Melbourne debut with the visually stunning Kagemi: Beyond the Metaphors of Mirrors.

Inspired by the work of Riho Senba, a master of the Japanese art of flower arranging, ikebana, Kagemi is visually rich piece that gracefully unfolds over seven scenes. Exquisite movement is accompanied by the musical synthesis of Western and Eastern instruments into otherworldly sounds.

What unfolds is a work of breathtaking beauty. Ushio Amagatsu, Sankai Juku’s founder and artistic director, trained in classical and modern dance before beginning to create his own style of butoh. Whilst drawing on the traditions of this contemporary Japanese artform, butoh in the hands of Amagatsu has been very much influenced by European dance and as a result offers a unique vision of a a dance theatre experience.

In attempting to put the visual language of Kagemi into words, the choregrapher and principle performer poetically explains “The Kage of Kagemi is shadow, the light of contrast, the image in the mirror of water’s surface. The mi is seeing and being seen.” Kagemi then is roughly translated as seeing one’s shadows, and this dreamlike creation is certainly poetry in motion.
