The 1st night of the Gala Performance to Celebrate Kazuo Ohno’s 100th Birthday: “Hyakka Ryouran”

Overview

Starting in October 2006, when dancer Kazuo Ohno turned 100 years old, a year was dedicated to "100 Years of Kazuo Ohno", with exhibitions, performances and other events around the world to celebrate his 100th birthday. Among them was the gala performance "Hyakka Ryoran", which brought together 23 dance groups from Japan and abroad, including a video performance by Pina Bausch, and two highly-charged days of performance were held.
