Open-Air Butoh Performance
SEHPURPUR
Courtyard of the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg, Berlin
The performance begins at sunset. As daylight fades, spaces emerge from shadow and artificial light. The transformation of light becomes part of the staging.
In a present marked by increasing instability and contradictory realities, the piece asks how a body can persist when certainties begin to fracture.
“Sehpurpur” develops, through the physical practice of Butoh, a space between perception and dissolution. Gravity, breath, silence, and precise control shape the body and its movement.
What remains when seeing begins in the dark?
