A gilt-edged show with a vivid impact that you can’t take your eyes off of.

On July 13, “Crazy Camel,” a performance by Dairakudakan, led by Akaji Maro, will be held at Kobe Bunka Hall (Chuo-ku, Kobe City). Advance tickets are currently on sale at playguides.

Dairakudakan, which performed for the first time at Kobe Bunka Hall in 2019 with “Paradise,” returns for the first time in five years with its masterpiece.

Crazy Camel” is a butoh-style gold-dust show in which gold-dusted butoh dancers quietly and intensely weave their deep psychology to Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” as if responding to the inner life of two female students and a male student, the faint love in adolescence that passes through everyone’s life.

The show was presented in October 2012 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Japan Cultural Institute in Paris, and has been performed in Tokyo, Okinawa, Shimane, Kochi, Nara, Yamagata, Miyazaki, and five cities in France.

Akaeru Maro, who has spread the name “butoh” around the world and continues to impact the dance scene, has never stopped and continues to take on new challenges from the perspective of a curious boy, creating a whirlwind of enthusiasm in the summer in Kobe.

＜A word from the reporter:
The Butoh-style gold dust show, expressed and constructed with body language and hand gestures, is powerful and well worth seeing. This rare performance in Kobe is not to be missed!
