This will be an incredible opportunity to see this startling major dance group. Sankai Juku perform in the style of Butoh, a movement which began in the 1960s and whose name derives from \u2018ankoku butoh\u2019 (dance of darkness). Like other Butoh dancers, Sankai Juku have shaved heads, are covered in white powder and are often only partially clothed. Their performances typically feature extreme, absurd environments and playful, grotesque dances. Their latest piece \u2018Umusuna \u2013 Memories before History\u2019 has been greatly anticipated and concerns birth, life and death.
