Product of Other Circumstances

In his new piece, Xavier Le Roy continues his inquiry into the boundaries of dance and choreography.

His performance simultaneously documents and enacts Le Roy’s approach to Butoh, a Japanese art form that emerged after WW II in the attempt to challenge the role of authority by subverting conventional notions of dance. The audience witness a form of story-telling and narration that draws on generic resources such as the internet, books, personal memories and anecdotes in order to come closer to understanding an alien form of culture.
