The work of choreographer Ushio Amagatsu and his company are known worldwide and have won countless awards, confirming their status as Japan's finest example of contemporary Butoh. For their Meany Hall performance, Sankai Juku will perform their latest creation, Umasuna: Memories Before History. The 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.
