#2019 #Performance
The crow perches on a tree in the snow.
It shivers with its breast protruding.
More snow falls, the Dark Muse tugs its head under-wing and enters the Cosmos of Creation...
She gazes at the his-story of Ankoku Butoh, the sound of caws insinuates. The dark muse musing on human beings' capacity in the pursuit of truth and beauty.
Crow H is a tribute to those who had given up to be a flower and thus… become the closest thing to it.
Critics
"Even if the presentation seems to be a theatrical performance, but it’s a butoh performance. She passes through the times and spaces in the 20th century, until to meet Mr. Yukio Waguri again ."
— Miyata Tetsuya, Professor of Kyoto Saga University of Arts
