Sankai Juku: Butoh is a particularly rigorous and demanding dance form, and no company has plumbed the depths of the dark emotions inherent in the style than Sankai Juku. Founded in 1975 by choreographer Ushio Amagatsu, who still directs the Tokyo-based troupe, Sankai Juku presents the West Coast premiere (and only Bay Area performance) of a recent evening-length work, “Tobari (As If in an Inexhaustible Flux),” a dance featuring seven tableaus exploring the cosmic cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
