"6th Kazuo Ohno Festival"

BankArt Studio NYK
Finished

Artists

Zuni Icosahedron, AAPA, Project Ohyama, Kenjiru Bien, Maki Tabata et al.
In the first half of this year, giants of the 20th-century dance world Pina Bausch, Merce Cunningham, Misako Miya and Michael Jackson among others, passed away one after another. As time flies inexorably past us, those who fail to make themselves heard are swiftly forgotten in the twinkle of an eye.

In this 6th installment of the festival, Kazuo Ohno looks back on the past, focusing on one of the pioneers of Beijing opera from the 30s, modern dance that emerged in the 40s, and the origins of butoh dance, "Kinjiki (forbidden color)" from 1959, approaching these works from modern viewpoints. Additionally, continuing where last year's theme of "ba" (site) left off, Ohno and various other participants will transform BankART Studio's huge space into a "theater". Also being held is "Respect Pina Bausch", a special event that commemorates the passing of an artist who had a close relationship with Ohno.
