Veteran Butoh artist Takuya Ishide (pictured at left with Yuko Kaseki and Daiji Meguro) moves like a sleepy but delicately, precisely controlled marionette. His engrossing ways are the main reason for catching one of two remaining performances of A Timeless Kaidan, a work by Ximena Garnica (concept and direction) and Shige Moriya (video and installation art), at Theater for the New City now through Thursday evening.
The interdisciplinary production--a presentation of Garnica Leimay AcTS Lab--is part of the 3rd Biennial CAVE New York Butoh Festival, including performances, exhibits and workshops, concluding on November 21. Garnica describes A Timeless Kaidan as "a story of our universal presence, and an observation on human fear." She aims to "return us to ourselves, to encounter the fear intrinsic to our own ethereal light."
