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.
