Butoh dance improvisation
Butoh dance: Atsushi Takenouchi and Kea Tonetti
live music: Hiroko Komiya and Tivitavi
Time of Tasogare (Twilight) A purple, suspended moment, a door between worlds, where nature spirits and ancestors dance, in the space between light and shadow, life and death resonate.
Tasogare in Japanese means “twilight,” that moment suspended between day and night, where the sky turns red-purple and a door opens between worlds. In that space-time image, the worlds of life and death, light and darkness meet. In the time of Tasogare, it is possible to encounter the world of nature spirits, Mononoke, or ancestors. The dancers Atsushi Takenouchi and Kea Tonetti enter the dreamlike time-space of Butoh dance, allowing the dance to connect with these spirits, allowing the performance to arise in the present, carried by the evocative and suspended live music of Hiroko Komiya and Tivitavi.
The performance Tasogare was presented in Milan in 2019, at the Fabbrica del Vapore – The Art Land/Famiglia Margini.
