Introduction to Art Archive XXVIII: In the Shadows: The Obscure World of Tatsumi Hijikata’s Choreography　Introduction to Art Archive XXVIII

土方巽の舞踏は30年にも満たないものの、それでも1959年の〈禁色〉以来の土方巽の舞踏を一望することはむずかしい。とはいえ、土方巽が1970年を境に自らの舞踏を決定的に変えようとしたことは確かです。1960年代に「舞踏の運動」は遂行されましたが、土方巽はともに「運動」を担った舞踏家と決別して、新たな舞踏の創造に向かったのです。
土方巽自身も1973年に舞踏の舞台から降りたことは驚きでしたが、ここから「Butoh Score」として舞踏メソッドの構築に向かいました。本展では「幽霊」というイメージに結びついた特定の動きに注目し、海外の新たな視点と新たな映像の手法を得て、舞踏譜をベースにした土方巽の舞踏メソッドを提示し問いかけます。現在から50年前にあたる1976年から、土方による創作活動の流れを俯瞰しつつ、中でも1977年《小林嵯峨舞踏公演》〈にがい光〉と1978年《仁村桃子舞踏公演・アスベスト館松代分室設置記念》〈最初の花〉の二作品を紹介します。
