RITES OF SPRING
A Butoh Performance
by Funhouse movement theater
April 7-9, 2022 from 6:15 pm to 8:30 pm
The symbolism of spring as a time of new beginnings, spans across time and cultures. It coincides with harvest rituals and ceremonies in which many act as one to support the continuity of life. Funhouse movement theater returns to Yume Gardens to take you on a celebration of harvest, myth, and ritual explored through the unique lens of butoh.
A contemporary, avant-garde performance art, butoh is a seamless blend of dance, theater, improvisation, and traditional Japanese performing arts. Butoh compels both performers and audience to investigate the primal, universal energies that connect us, and invites us to share an embodied experience of the collective unconscious.
Rites of Spring is directed by Lin Lucas and features Sabrina Geoffrion, Marquez Johnson, Karenne Koo, Lin Lucas, Sherry Mulholland, Keita Tsutsumi, and Cynthia Wasco with music by Calm Whale and traditional Japanese poetry read by Taylor Johnson. Visitors to this unique performance will encounter dancers dispersed throughout the refined splendor of the garden, each engaged in choreographed and improvisational communion with the sights, sounds, and sensations of the natural environment. Experience the wonder.
