Overview

"In our days, if this country Japan were a puddle, I myself might be a single drop of water falling into it. Ripples appear, interfere each other, create various forms, and disappear to the infinite.
In my lifetime, I feel I have encountered four impressive drops of water; a child, a woman, a man, and an old person. Four people, or just a single one? Or a mysterious image that might embody them all?
Those four drops are what I am seeking for in my dance.
As a drop holding day and night inside me, I would like to fall into this puddle."

The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on 17 January 1995, and with a desire to visit and help the people of Kobe, Takenouchi Atsushi danced for the souls of the dead.

- Participated in the 1st OSAKA DANCE EXPERIENCE.
- Atsushi Takenouchi JINEN Butoh Performance
