Butoh Dance "Crime and Punishment" by Dairakudakan Temptenshiki will open on the 17th of March

Butoh Dance "Crime and Punishment" by Dairakudakan Temptenshiki will open on the 17th of March.

The second performance of "Butoh Today" is by the company Dairakudakan Temptenshiki, with its new production at the Playhouse of New National Theatre, Tokyo.

Dairakudakan was the first Butoh company that performed in France and the United States, back in 1982, and its striking impact paved the way for Butoh to be known internationally. The company continued to perform its spectacular, humorous and touching works by a group of men, and the style was given the name Temptenshiki (meaning "being born into this world is a great talent in itself"). The company has produced a great many works, regularly incorporating long-forgotten gestures and hand movements, and performs them in Japan and abroad. We invite you to come and enjoy this new piece at the New National Theatre, Tokyo.

Tickets are available for purchase from here.

Day Tickets (Z seats) are also available at the Box Office from 10:00 a.m. on the day of the performance.

One ticket per person. Telephone bookings for Day Tickets are not accepted.
