About Kazuo Ohno
Tanz im August
How can something as fleeting as dance be archived and passed on? How can it be saved from oblivion? And how is it changed in this process of being passed on? Takao Kawaguchi – a fearless performance artist, a shape-shifter of the body and the mind – literally copies the dances of an icon, focusing on video recordings of renowned butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno, who helped to revolutionise dance and founded butoh in the wake of the Second World War. What emerges is a tense, exciting dialogue of two artists between presence and absence, contemporary trash and traditional wisdom.
