Friday - Saturday, October 9-10, 7:30pm & Sunday, October 11, 2015, 4:00pm
Umusuna-Memories Before History (2012), is an ambitious and breathtaking vision of the creation of the Earth that shifts giddily from balance to imbalance, as the surface of the stage itself is upset amid towering cascades of sand and bodies that hint at the movement of the cosmos. Not seen in San Francisco since 2010, Sankai Juku will leave you with the feeling that, like a child, you have seen the world for the first time.
Sankai Juku was founded by Ushio Amagatsu in 1975 and by 1980 Sankai Juku was invited to perform in Europe for the first time.Sankai Juku went to Nancy International Festival in France with the firm conviction that Butoh would be accepted.
