CHIMAERA

An evening of Butoh performance at the Franklin Castle CHIMAERA is NYC - based BUTOH sound and art collaborative duo Oscar Suh-Rodriguez and Eilish Henderson. Their mutual passion for Butoh, poetry, music and sound has brought about their collaborative auteur philosophy: music, choreography, costuming: miniature landscapes created jointly. The eponymous debut work CHIMAERA was created over a nine month period and serves as a culmination of their experiences and discoveries. The work is as much composition as it is transcription, putting on display their corporeal journal during this early period of collaboration. Mouse Vision is a Cleveland-based, butoh inspired project linking experimental sound and movement created by Bob Drake, Kristen Ban Drake, and Laura Swedenborg. Genevieve Jencson will offer a brief talk on Butoh before the performances. A free livestream of the performances will be available on @the_franklin_castle
