The Maids

Overview

Everything can be told through the gestures of women". Inspired by Jean Genet's 'The Maids', a masterpiece of French avant-garde theatre, it premiered in Tokyo the previous November. Guided by Genet's words and boldly reinterpreted, the 'three' maids connect, share, snoop and reveal. The me inside myself, the you inside me (inside a woman). Katsumata Keiko (Sōmōjuku) and Sakurai Yuri (Zokucho no Tabi) were invited to join Tanaka Mutsuko for a celebration of women's butoh, in which their three personalities collide.
