Butoh&Sound Night at OT301 & Workshop at NDSM May 3-5

Butoh & Sound night at OT301 with live solo performances by Sakurako, Stefano Taiuti and a special quest Alessandro Pintus (Rome).

Stefano Taiuti’s installation and performance “Still Water” (21 min) deals with simple elements: water, light, space, time, and the human body, which is presented as an object of nature. The dance is in a reduced space where silent almost motionless drama is taking place.www.stefanotaiuti.com

The human condition is the main subject matter of “Emergency Exit Now-Here” (20 min) performed by Sakurako, addressing the concepts of ego and the self. The heroine is undergoing a dramatic transformation in a search of a new feminine way of being in the world, exposing the ego in an attempt to reveal the true self. www.cholmogorova.com

The evening’s final performance is an Amsterdam premier of “Rubedo” (30 min) by Alessandro Pintus (Rome). According to the ancient alchemy, Rubedo means the third and last stage of alchemical opera, the ability to transform the raw material into gold. Metaphorically speaking is the last process of elevation of the human spirit to rediscover its true divine nature. Rubedo is a mute cry that wakes up the authentic and urgent need for a new genesis. www.alessandropintus.com

May4th: Re-United Now-Here presents a duet butoh dance performance by Alessandro Pintus & Sakurako revealing yet another episode of the karmic saga "Sakura Dream" in an intimate environment of the Tea Room in Jordaan with the real tea ceremony performed for the guests by the master.
"we part just to meet again some place some day... and when we do- our dance is the only chance to break the eternal recurrence curse". An encounter of two bodies thrown into the unknown without a trace of memory as they just awaken from the oblivion of a dream. The cloth of the vintage komonos they are wearing holds the key to unlock deep body memory. The bodies are being moved to tell an ancient tale, which happened countless lives ago in the distant place. They interact to remember the past, to foresee the future, to remain present in the present, to find out who they are and why they are now-here.
An exclusive chance to experience the dance in a close proximity with the live sound by German Popov and  to taste top quality tea of the new season from China. The tea ceremony is performed by Amanda MF Yiu. (Limited places available presale tickets only - 15 eur including the tea ceremony and the live performance! Please register at gina.hillberg@gmail.com).
