Sankai Juku

The Joyce debut of Sankai Juku, “Japan’s most prominent success in dance” (The New York Times), provides an unprecedented chance to see this revered company perform in an intimate setting. Esteemed Director Ushio Amagatsu’s most recent work, Tobari – As if in an Inexhaustible Flux, is a piece that explores the journey of life, death and rebirth through mesmerizing images that evoke flickering light and spare darkness, the passage of time, and the shifting of the seasons. To see Tobari is to experience butoh at its best--traditional hypnotic movement flowing with new energy in a visually powerful and beautiful work.
