Sankai Juku

Umusuna: Memories Before History: The work of choreographer Ushio Amagatsu and his company Sankai Juku are known worldwide. Amagatsu’s contemporary Butoh creations are sublime visual spectacles and deeply moving theatrical experiences. Sankai Juku returns to North America in the Fall of 2015 with their latest creation UMUSUNA: Memories Before History (2013). This new work evokes the essence of duality and unity encapsulated in the Chinese characters for “birth” and “earth” that combine to form the work’s title.
