It suddenly popped into my head, I want to become Kazuo Ohno.
Takao Kawaguchi
As part of a national tour organized by the Japan Society, audiences in the US have a rare chance to see Kawaguchis powerful evening length performance celebrating the 110th anniversary of Ohnos birth, he passed away in 2010 at the age of 103. In this stunning work of artistic homage, Takao Kawaguchi re-creates the iconic work of Kazuo Ohno, the founding father of butoh, a form of
contemporary dance characterized by extreme images created in
response to the atomic horrors of WWII. As Kawaguchi performs on
stage, images of Kazuo Ohno merge, surface, and recede with each
scene, resulting in a powerful duet between Kawaguchi and an
illusory image of Kazuo Ohno. The result is a completely new work
of art, where the copy becomes the original.
