La danseuse malade

Boris Charmatz (France)

“Jeanne Balibar and I construct a vehicle for the body and the mind of Tatsumi Hijikata and for the freedom of tone in the exigency of an art drugged by fl esh. We are tempted by the idea of a kind of monument for this artist and inventor of the Butô, a possible ‘tomb’.”
