Performance:Red White Fairy Tale

一个前所未有的,『红』与『白』的寓言就此诞生了! 她,来自中国的国剧 —— 京剧。他,来自马来西亚的舞踏手。一个是阳春白雪; 一个不是下里巴人。 她,不堪孤寂,闲愁万种。 他,自在安闲,逍遥自在。她,奔寻痴梦,难解难圆。 他,魂游百度,历经沧桑。 多么奇迹的『红白』相遇,人鬼相逢啊! 面面相觑,窥测其中 ......幽默,怪异,冲突,倒错,真实。 借古论今,假虚喻实。 这是一次有意义的心灵探索,它将成为一次艺术实践的里程碑!在经过一次视觉的洗礼后,再在心灵上为自己做一次剖析。

About Katsura Kan
Katsura Kan is a celebrated master Butoh artist, with decades of experience as a solo and collaborative performer, teacher and choreographer. Kan graduated from the Buddhism University in Kyoto and studied Noh Theatre with master Hirota at the Kongo School. He performed with the seminal Butoh troupe Byakkosha (1979-1981) known for its austerity and integrity. Based in Kyoto since 1979, Katsura has since taken his distinctive brand of Butoh around the world, staging acclaimed performances and collaborating with artists in various countries. Among his most significant works include "Bhagavad Gita" (2000, Bangkok) based on the Mahabharata, "La Mort D'Empedocle" (2004, Paris) based on the Greek tragedy, and "Curious Fish" (2001) presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where his company received a five star critics’ rating. In 2001, he began an extensive performance tour that has taken him to Israel, Egypt, West Africa, Eastern Europe, Australia, and the USA. Meanwhile, his work in performance and teaching has taken him to many remote parts of Africa, Europe and Asia. Kan’s current research interest is in the development of Beckett Butoh Notation, utilising the Butoh notation of Tatsumi Hijikata as a point of departure. Kan pursues the possibility of the globalisation of Butoh and an enlightenment of the classical Japanese Noh theatre with the goal of a new communication design for deep democracy.
