“The 36th anniversary of Hijikata Tatsumi's death / Talking together about Hijikata Tatsumi” video archive is now available

The event “The 36th Anniversary of Hijikata Tatsumi’s Death / Talking together about Tatsumi Hijikata” hold on Friday, January 21, 2022.
In 2022, 50 years after the landmark performance of “Twenty-seven Nights for Four Seasons”, we welcomed butoh artist Akaji Maro as our guest. Maro was mentored by Tatsumi Hijikata subsequent to his visit to the Asbestos Hall in 1966, and founded the Dairakudakan troupe in 1972, establishing his footing in the world of butoh.
At the “Talking together about Tatsumi Hijikata” event, we reappraised the 1970s, which can be considered the nascent era of butoh, and use this as an opportunity to weigh the significance of the last half-century.
