It was Ryu’s first solo performance consisted of multi award-winning “BU” and “AFTER RUST” which is a brand-new piece created in a residence creation in France. “BU” is a search of Ryu’s own identity, and plays with ideas for a Japanese word “BU”, which means dance, martial arts, nothingness and may more. “AFTER RUST” is based on a question “What is the next stage after rust?” It explores physical and mental rust on human body.
