Overview

Butoh dancer Ohno Kazuo passed away on 1 June 2010, at the age of 103. That year, memorial gatherings were held all around the world. The Kazuo Ohno Festival, which had been held annually since 2004, took place from November to December with the aim of sharing "the world of Ohno Kazuo". For three nights, including the opening performance, a series of short works by past festival participants and open-call artists were presented in a "never-ending butoh gathering". "A Journey to Mr. O, A Journey from Mr. O" was performed on the third night, featuring four solo pieces, and a group dance directed by Ohno Yoshito with students from the Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio.
