Originally conceived in 2004 by Italian artist and curator Davide TERLINGO for Daghdha Dance Company in Ireland. Curators in each city have the role of creating a local point of reference and selecting the programme. Mamuska Tokyo is curated by IINA Naoto, director of Dance and Media Japan.

It emerged onto the international scene in 1982 with the world premiere of "Kaiin no Uma~The sea dappled horse" in Avignon, France. Since then, the word, "Butoh" has spread out throughout the world and the style of dance, "Butoh" has been a great impact on other contemporary dances.

|
 |

Gekidan KAITAISHA presents a trilogy entitled Reflection: Chain Systems aiming for evolution and deeper exploration of what we have done in Dream Regime Project. That is to present how to respond to and critique the real world that has constantly been "at war" through collaboration with foreign performers and artists. In other words, we attempt to create physical expression that exists between people suppressing exercise of violence and provokes audience into reflection. Guest performers: Rebecca Woodford-Smith (Wales, UK), Mikyoung Jun Pearce (Korea/UK)

Gekidan KAITAISHA [http://www.kaitaisha.com]

|
|
|
Gekidan KAITAISHA translates as "Theatre of Deconstruction". They are a maverick company in the vibrant Tokyo independent theatre scene. KAITAISHA's "Theatre of Body" combines political issues and philosophical concepts with contemporary movement, which is based on an acute criticism of society, raising issues, such as racism, gender prejudices, sexual hypocrisy and political pretension. By questioning the status quo, giving full credit to the imagined, and trusting it as much as the experienced, the ensemble produces the energy that characterizes its work. It can be the energy of a burning fuse or that of a persistent, far-away flame.

The first play was in Osaka in December, 2005. We show the affairs of the married couple, Choko and Kichijiro, in the peeking style. Having made success with the characteristic of the KITABAYASHI works, the luxuriance and the speed in the hearty humor and moving story, this is the first time to play in Tokyo. We are going to give you a story of an Osaka typical strange couple through a runaway marriage, and their strange guests including the phantom of the poor... It is an Osaka tastily romantic and humorous musical described by music, dance, and the comic.

| R+UNPLUGGED Vol.1 “MARGUERITE, & Another Stories” |
|
 |
|
“RAKUENOH plus” is a group that has been in action since 1990. Expanding from the director and writer Hiroshi Nagahori's idea that “play=poem”, we engage in a particular performing style experimenting with how “the text is heard through the ear,” using the Japanese language. This “unplugged” performance is a new trial for “RAKUENOH plus,” and we are searching for a new experimental style of expression through “not plugging the plug in the socket,” and not using an alternating-current.
