Purpose/objective
The troupe explored the meaning of “Quiet House” and “Home Town” in a Butoh piece performed in Laos, a country still suffering from the legacy of landmines, Thailand, where military rule persists, and Japan, a country seen as being unconnected to war. The tour provided the opportunity to share with audiences the tragic events actually happening around the world.

Details
Program/story
A room littered with rubble. Somebody buried in rubble who doesn’t make the slightest movement.
They regain their body as time rewinds.
People who treat life like a pebble. Struggle, give up. History repeats itself.
The story develops, going back and forth in time. I perform a ritual to mourn my body.
