Kokoro Dance presents the world premiere of the provocative and primal Embryotrophic Cavatina, the company’s latest full-length butoh work 20-years in the making, Sept. 20-23 and 26-29, 2017 at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre. Choreographed by Kokoro Dance Directors & award-winning dance artists Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi, and set to the heartrending but uplifting music of acclaimed Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner, four dancers will strip themselves bare – literally and figuratively – in breathless motion and stillness, embodying the rawness of humanity, while transcending all superficial layers of persona and ego in true butoh style.
