Electric Japan 2022: Trigger Point – Nature & A Hum San Sui

Butoh (or Butō) or the ‘Dance of Darkness’ is an idiosyncratic and physically demanding dance form. Both trained by eminent Butoh masters, Akaji Maro and Akira Kasai, Barabbas Okuyama collaborates with award-winning choreographer Kentaro Kujirai to present a double bill of mesmeric dance.

Trigger Point – Nature, Okuyama’s solo performance, presents his visceral, contemporary take on Butoh.

A HUM SAN SUI (Scenery of Alpha and Omega), a powerful duet between Kujirai & Okuyama, combining their styles to create a new form of expression through Butoh.

Expect distinctive, hyper-expressive choreography – raw, haunting, beautiful, and magical.
