Business Overview
France-based contemporary dancer and choreographer François Chégnault and Maro Akaji, who continues to introduce dance to the world, overcame differences in their dance backgrounds, ages, countries, views on life and death, and views on gender in this duo work. They both assigned young artists as choreographic assistants and premiered in France in 2020 as a next-generation international co-production. While their European tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they used Zoom and other tools to further develop their performance in Japan.

Profile
Dairakudakan
Presided by Mao Sekiji, founded in 1972. He named his style "Tenfuten-shiki" (meaning that being born into this world is a great talent), collected and constructed forgotten 'gestures and hand gestures,' and created many works. In 1982, they performed in France and America for the first time as a dance company, and gave a vivid impact and spread "Butoh" widely. Every year, many dancers, actors, artists, etc. from Japan and overseas participate in the dance experience camp, and exchanges beyond genres are actively held.
