Cafe Reason Butoh Dance Theatre

Café Reason sets off into the Underworld to grapple with the eternal themes of Love and Death and their control over human lives. The archetypal myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, of love and loss, of hope and fear, and the redeeming power of art, is reinvented through the transcendent medium of Butoh, where the dancers bring into the movement their own lived and unconscious experiences. Devised in collaboration with the improvising rock band Nonstop Tango, the performance weaves together a rich, original, and eclectic mix of innovative dance, no-holds-barred live music, poetry, video, and more!
