Tokyo street performances in Sangen-jaya

Last Saturday, I went to Sangen-jaya, an area of Tokyo, to see street performers.


I went specifically to see Dairakudakan, an internationally known butoh dance troupe who are based in Tokyo. They were performing "Gold-painting". James and I had the opportunity to see their performance of "Insects" last year at the Queen Elizabeth Thetre in Vancouver. They are coming back to Vancouver to perform "Paradise" in March 2017! Needless to say, we have already booked our tickets!

We met one of the troupe's dancers, Atsushi, in Vancouver. He will be attending my exhibition in Tokyo next week.
