mother

​

The video is  a new computer made choreography of a Butho dance created and performed by Kazuo Ohno* in 1998, which he performed at the age of 92.

The Dance is a physical and a spiritual journey into a feminine character of kazuo’s mother.  In the Japanese traditional dance, it is common that men perform a women figure but in this case the choice to perform one’s mother is very meaningful and it’s the main narrative of this expressive dance. The video (CGI) is made with 3D and video editing software .
