Vangeline Theater/ New York Butoh Institute collaborates with Brick Theatre to present the sixth annual Queer Butoh 2022, available online from June 1-30, 2022 and in-person from June 28-30, 2022 at 8pm at The Brick. In Person Performances include:in a dark forest partly illuminated is a new performance created by dustin maxwell. It is a mix of dance ritual and visual art, where the body is both object and subject sensing into the unknown; both sculpture and transceiver radio picking up messages from the void. It is an invitation to partake in the painpleasure of exposure, submerging into shadow and emerging exalted.shadowbloom by XUE and Mervin Wong is a soft spiral into the uncanny. The work unearths quiet stirrings and subterranean memories.META GENDER by Hlne Barrier is the theatrical result of collective research centered on gender, body, music and performance deconstruction. It is born out of a commissioned work by the LUFF, the Lausanne Underground Festival in Switzerland. The Contra-Sexual Manifesto, reference text of the performance accompanies the Butoh dance, which imposes on the viewer, from the start, incarnation / transgression of its flesh suitcase costume. It offers to the dancer a prosthetic body, which leaves everyone free of projecting their own body fantasy. Made of stockings and tights (polymorphic material malleable depending of the textures which it is filled with: cotton, foam, flour, beads, polystyrene beads), it reveals here and there another body, bloated, overloaded, hiding unexpected and unfinished movements. The costume becomes a new skin, cellulite, testicle, breast, penis and dildo.
