| Synopsis : | The very first Butoh festival in Malaysia is happening this July, presented by Malaysia’s own Nyoba Kan, and led by the somewhat eccentric but always intriguing Lee Swee Keong. Lots planned: Butoh in the Park 6 Jul 2008 (10am) Free KLPac lawn/ deck area, Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan (off Jalan Ipoh), KL. Since 2002, the dancers of Nyoba Kan have conducted their morning exercises in public parks, to allow their minds and bodies to absorb the energy of the outdoor environment. Butoh in the Park not only recreates Nyoba Kan's exercise routines but is also a special "outdoor preview version" of its full-length performance She Walks in Beauty Like the Night. Butoh Workshop 12 Jul 2008 (3pm – 6pm) RM50/ RM30 (Students) The Annexe @ Central Market, The Annexe Gallery Studio Theatre, Central Market Annexe, Jalan Hang Kasturi, KL. She Walks In Beauty Like The Night (feature performance) 17 - 20 Jul 2008 (8.15pm) RM40/ RM28 (students). RM20 each for Student groups of more than 10 people. Student admission limited to 60 seats per show. The Annexe @ Central Market, The Annexe Gallery Studio Theatre, Central Market Annexe, Jalan Hang Kasturi, KL. She Walks In Beauty Like The Night is a full-length three-part butoh performance -- bizzarre, horrific and enlightening all at once. The three parts are based on themes of creation ("The Birth"), human desires ("Eight Ways of Suffering") and immaculate illusions ("Reflection of The Moon in the Water"). Choreographed and directed by Lee Swee Keong. Performed by Lee Swee Keong, Kiea Kuan Nam, Caecar Chong, and YC Ooi. Music by Chor Guan Ng. Image and costume design by Eric Choong. Butoh Jam 26 Jul 2008 (8.30pm) By Donation: RM20/ RM10 (students) - only 80 seats available The Annexe @ Central Market, The Annexe Gallery Studio Theatre, Central Market Annexe, Jalan Hang Kasturi, KL. Lee Swee Keong and his butoh teacher Lena Ang collaborate for a must-watch, one-off duet butoh performance that brings together two different yet complementary visions of butoh. Jerome Kugan will provide live music accompaniment. Lurking 3 - 21 Jul 2008 (10am - 6pm) Free Admission The Annexe @ Central Market, The Annexe Gallery Studio Theatre, Central Market Annexe, Jalan Hang Kasturi, KL. Nyoba Kan dancer Caecar Chong is also an acclaimed photographer and designer. For this, his first exhibition of photographs related to Butoh, he presents a selection of photographs featuring various subjects including twisted figures that invoke the transgressive philosophy of Butoh. |
