Overview

Motofuji Akiko was with Hijikata Tatsumi for every step of his dancing life from when they first met in 1959. Born of the same year and of the same generation, together they used Asbestos-kan as a base to create butoh, train apprentices, and create an audience. This piece is dedicated to Hijikata in nostalgic remembrance of that exceptional dedicated journey. A collaboration with Ohno Kazuo and Ohno Yoshito, who were also heavily involved since the early days of butoh. This video shows the premiere performance staged at Asbestos-kan.
