¨...with a beautiful disturbance Diego danced
from the individual experience into a colective
communion, transgrees the postmodernity.¨

CARLOS MARQUEZ, LA JORNADA, Mexico

With "Ekua Itsi: Behind the Mirror", Diego Piñon
celebrates ten years of creating solo Butoh Ritual Mexicano dance and
honors both the death of his father and the guidance he has received from Kazuo Ohno, the 100-year old co-founder of butoh.
In his work, Piñon combines bio-energetic movement, contemporary dance and theatre, and traditional Mexican ritual. He was invited to dance with the Japanese groups Byakko-Sha in 1993 in Mexico, and Min Tanaka's Maijuku in 1994 in Japan, and continues to refine master butoh techniques with Natsu Nakajima, Yoshito Ohno, and Kazuo Ohno.

Opening piece:

"Kaze" (wind)
created and directed by Vangeline for the Vangeline Theater.

Performed by Maki Shinagawa, Pamela Herron, Mandy
Caughey, Ellen Godena, Kat Mac Millan.

"Kaze" (wind) explores a journey from bondage to
freedom, and the myriads of confrontations which
arise for women from this process of liberation.

Vangeline is the Artistic Director of the Vangeline Theater.
The Vangeline Theater is a post Modern butoh dance company
firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese Butoh while
carrying it into the 21st century.

Some people may not know what this is about and are not familiar with Butoh.
It is amazingly gorgeous and we HIGHLY recommend it!

You may remember Vangeline Theater from the "Lowlife" show last year at the HOWL! Festival.
They did "St. Louis Blues"

The lovely and talented Vangeline.
