BOX OFFICE:

Run-time is 80 minutes with intermission.

Theasy NY says:
"Virtuosic solo performance that will make your skin crawl in the best way possible, conjuring the ghosts of tortured geniuses Beethoven and Tatsumi Hijikata and bringing Butoh into the 21st century with technical marvels and masterful skill.
Vangeline is an artist who knows the darkness of Butoh well, and has the incredible skill to make that darkness dance."

Featuring " Chanson D'Automne" interpreted by American Singer Kesang Marstrand.

The word Eclipse is derived from the ancient Greek verb (ekleíp) which means to abandon, to darken, or to cease to exist. Butoh is likewise the Dance of Darkness where performers dance on the threshold of Life and death. BUTOH BEETHOVEN: ECLIPSE (Admiring Tatsumi Hijikata), is a solo piece that illuminates the darkness of Butoh with the addition of cutting edge lighting technologies such as the futuristic creations of European designer Tilen Sepi and fiber optic costume by the French company Lumigram. After touring this show for the past three years and receiving four stars at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, five stars at Copenhagen Stage Festival and critical acclaim in New York, Vangeline shines a new light on Butoh and will transport audiences.

This program is supported in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
