Overview
Directed by John Salt, a researcher of Japanese culture, this butoh piece is based on 'The Life of an Amorous Woman' by Ihara Saikaku. With the aim of transforming the emotions of people who lived in the Edo period into butoh, the piece represents a new turning point for Motofuji Akiko. Performed by Takada Keitoku and the Asbestos-kan troupe, with guest performance by Nishimatsu Fuei on shamisen and vocals, the work brings the world of Saikaku's men and women to life in the modern day through kouta, hauta, jiuta and contemporary poetry. Performed twice, at 15:00 and 19:00.
