  • Concept/Sound collage/Dance: Yuko Kaseki Music: Kazuhisa Uchihashi, SUIT Artistic advisor: Lisa Stertz Light design: Roger Rossell Costume: Kahori Furukawa Photo: Dadaware This butoh performance is inspired by Henry Darger’s fantasy world that juxtaposes innocence with violence. Sounds from real battles found on the Internet are contrasted with iconic corporeal movements that represent innocence. The work attempts to pose a question to the feeling of ambivalence towards systematic violence that imposes powerlessness, and simultaneously reminds of brutal terror that characterizes our epoch. The birth to kill Build to break down Existence To be erased To be pasted The invisible enemy Imperceptible voice The other side of the filter The inside of the monitor In order to be fooled In order to deceive Endless game of The world
