ATSUSHI TAKENOUCHI & HIROKO KOMIYA
I am life. I am death. By relieving myself of everything – my clothes, my passport, my name – I become a unique being. Then I free myself of my being and my kind, finding myself where there are no borders, no society, no law. I only embody life, pure existence, without such categories as “animal” or “human”. By relieving myself of everything, I become an aggregate of energy particles repeating the cycle of life and death. Everything is born in me, and then I go back to everything. I am naked existence.
butoh, choreography: Atsushi Takenouchi
live music: Hiroko Komiya (natural sounds of objects, percussion, voice, xaphoon, zither)
