Hijikata Three Chapters 土方三章
Choreographed by Tatsumi Hijikata
Supervised and Narrated by Yoshito Ohno
Performed by Dai Matsuoka
“Hijikata Three Chapters” has been long performed by Yoshito Ohno, since Tatsumi Hijikata choreographed this piece for him in 1985. In 2018, not only for the purpose of delving into the early period Butoh method, but also for the archival purpose to make the important piece survive, Dai Matsuoka asked Yoshito Ohno to pass the choreography on him, and give directions to the new version in which Matsuoka performs the piece.Through this piece, Matsuoka, one of the main dancers of Sankaijuku, realizes the timeless collaboration with the founder of Butoh, and the living legend of Butoh.

“Falling Out”
“For the past 10 years, relentlessly inquisitive theater artists Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko have created onstage magic as a means to address current events and timeless mythologies. Their latest is a rippling meditation on water, heartbreak, and healing in response to the 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster. In collaboration with Dai Matsuoka of dance troupe Sankai Juku, the work weaves flex dance, butoh, and Phantom Limb’s unique puppet theater into a visually arresting tapestry of collective experience and artistic alchemy.”(from BAM website)
