Tentai no Aki

Overview

This work marks a turning point for Yamada Setsuko, where she began calling her work 'dance' instead of 'butoh'. Through an installation by Naito Hisayoshi, the manufactured space of Studio 200 in Seibu Ikebukuro became a stage leading to the other world - the ends of the earth, with bronze surfaces, rusty iron, scrap wood and white sand. Starting with the guitar piece 'International' by Shomura Kiyoshi, synthesised sounds by HIROKI intersect with Yamada's centripetal dance movements of rhythmic tension, creating a world formed of simplicity.
