In Paris, 1978, The experience of the time and space at Japan called a big echovisualized by ISOZAKI Arata. One of nine spaces, Noh stage, named "darkness" to dance the butoh dance of HIJIKATA Tatsumi "Twelve aspect of Dancing Princess of darkness" were being enclosed by the spectator every day. It was this "MA" exhibition that the butoh dance had been introduced to foreign countries for the first time. The Butoh of "RENYO - sho" by TOMOE SHIZUNE is presented in the "MA-the return after 20 years" at this time. The Butoh of TOMOE SHIZUNE was spoken very highly, and had left a big footprint for the sublime of the HIJIKATA butoh with the New York Times paper with 'Beyond BUTOH' by which the category of a past dance was exceeded and the root of the dance was told in 1994. TOMOE SHIZUNE can be called the only Butoh dancer who will live in the myth of the dance soon as The Miracle Worker by which the dance soul of HJIKATA Tatsumi is succeeded to. In Tokyo, 2000, it looks forward to holding "MA - the return after 20 years", how the beauty consideration of Japan is very dismantled and restructured. text: ASHIKAWA Yoko, TOMOE SHIZUNE & HAKUTOBO
