YUMI UMIUMARE ‘en trance’ BUTOH Performance ($18/->$26 28aug – 13 sept?)

MALTHOUSE THEATRE PRESENTS – EN TRANCE
CREATED AND PERFORMED BY YUMI UMIUMARE
DRAMATURGE MOIRA FINUCANE, MEDIA ARTIST BAMBANG NURCAHYADI, INSTALLATION ARTIST NAOMI OTA, SOUND DESIGNER IAN KITNEY, COSTUME DESIGNER DAVID ANDERSON, LIGHTING DESIGNER KERRY IRELAND, From her many performances of The Burlesque Hour around the globe, to Malthouse Theatre’s very own presentation of DasShoku Hora!!, Yumi Umiumare’s electrifying performance style is in demand the world over. In this bold new work, Umiumare is set to detonate her extraordinary vision from the international to the other-worldy as she thrusts us into the twisted corridors of the un-living. At times brutally visceral, the performance is counterbalanced with the purity of digital painting produced live with her collaborating artists, Bambang Nurcahyadi and Naomi Ota. EnTrance extends even further Umiumare’s diverse dance vocabulary, plummeting into the cracks where the spirit and the body are propelled into another existence. Umiumare takes us from unsettling moments of physical extremity to magical images of reflective serenity.
Previous show=DASSHOKU HORA!! IS A BIZARRE MIXTURE OF BUTOH, GROTESQUERIE AND HIGHLY PHYSICAL ACTING.” -HERALD SUN
“WATCHING UMIUMARE DANCE BUTOH IS LIKE WATCHING A STAINLESS STEEL MANNEQUIN RAM A KNIFE INTO A TOASTER.”-VIBEWIRE
