This book collects more than a hundred previously unknown photographs of Kazuo Ohno, the great Japanese dancer and founder of the butoh style. These pictures were taken during his tours in São Paulo from 1986 to 1997 by photographer Emídio Luisi. For this volume, dance critic Inês Bogéa has compiled interviews and critical essays that register Ohno's impact on Brazilian dancers, actors and directors. Butoh mixes dance and drama to speculate on birth, sex, and death. The beauty and subtlety of Ohno's performances are captured by Luisi's camera, with the dancer's full complicity. This limited edition is wrapped up in an origami envelope of hand-made paper and includes 16 color plates.
