ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER II
Event description
|
ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER II is back to blow your mind! Dive into a surreal nightclub/BAR experience featuring a mesmerising mix of dance, cabaret, song, and visual arts, woven together by the hypnotic art form of Butoh. ButohBAR resurrects the wild spirit of the 70s and 80s, when Butoh ruled the nightclubs and strip joints to reflect on our post-pandemic world 'out of order.' Led by acclaimed performing artist Yumi Umiumare, alongside international artist Butoh Master Atsushi Takenouchi from Japan/Italy, this new iteration features performances and rituals in Abbotsford Convent's acclaimed Industrial School and Sacred Heart courtyard. Following the sold-out success of ButohBAR 2023, this electrifying work celebrates our beautifully dysfunctional existence in an unforgettable night of art, guerrilla performances, roving installations, Karaoke and more. Enjoy exquisite sake and food provided by the famous Tamura Sake Bar and immerse yourself in this unique artistic journey. WARNINGS: Intermittent loud sounds, low lighting and varying intensity, a moment of flashing lights, potential nudity and adult themes. Low level audience involvement. Commissioned and presented by Abbotsford Convent and Asia TOPA, Arts Centre Melbourne. Asia TOPA is a joint initiative of Arts Centre Melbourne and the Sidney Myer Fund, supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, Playking Foundation and the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts. |
