This is an evening of Butoh featuring world renown Japanese Butoh dancer Katsura Kan and the Saltimbanques. Curious Fish was premiered at the San Francisco Butoh festival in 2001 and got a 5 star rating at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the summer. As Diane Dubois from the Scotsman wrote: "I laughed, got scared, and laughed some more." Katsura Kan is a native of Kyoto and a Master Butoh artist among the ranks of Japan's first generation of Butoh. He performed with the seminal Butoh troupe "Byakkosha" (1979-1981) known for its austerity and integrity, rather than theatrical glamour. He is a celebrated solo artist, collaborative performer and choreographer. Vangeline is the Artistic Director of The Vangeline Theater. Program: "Unspoken" by Vangeline performed and choreographed by Vangeline. "Curious Fish" by Katsura Kan and dancers Directed and choreographed by Katsura Kan. This presentation was made possible by a generous grant from the Japan Foundation and the assistance of the NY Butoh-Kan Training Initiative Program, LEIMAY AcTS LAB and CAVE.
