FASCINATING DOBU IN PARIS
DOBU
The Japanese Dance Company DAIRAKUDAKAN is guesting Paris with two performances one with only female dancers, Yupiters, and one with only male dancers Dobu. We visited the one peformance with only male dancers DOBU, choreography Takuya Muramatsu. He has been creating a very fascinating performance for 14 male dancers. Nearly nude, as the pictures are showing. It was a fantastic use of body language as I have never seen before
. Where the choreography focus was on the body and its different parts, bellys, hands, arms, feets, and on the faces, their mimik, tounges, lips, eyes.
. one could see the gutters the waste produced by our daily activities. They mixed and cohabited with all kinds of small creatures, forming a true microcosm. To day, the gutters are dissimulate in our cities, remove our sight. Become undesirable, they were however in our childhood of spaces of play impossible to circumvent. Physical work but also the sick or deformed bodies will be soon them also masks, just like the gutters. Because all that is awkward, unpleasant, must be rejete. Same the human body? C´est of this reflexion this part is born.”

. These dancers had much more to show than just beautiful bodies, they too had a history, or some scenes to form a history to perform, and through that they brought us over to an other part of the world, where we could enjoy hard working gentlemans mowings and their choreographic play towards the audience, with their faces and their bodies. which became fascinating.
The music by Katsuo Seki is following up in an interesting way, it started reminding me of the World Expo 2000 in Hannover where the Norwegian pavillion, after you have entered under the waterfal made by Marianne Heske in to her secret room in the mountain heard the drops of stones falling, after a while it changed in to Arne Nordheim inspired music to The Tempest, the ballet by Glen Tetley inspired by William Shakespeare, then it continued building up to a big storm or a tsunami, and after a while we too had a light funny little waltz.

The scenography by Kazuhiko Nakahara was build up by large black boxes forming like a staircase for giants, here the entrance to performance started by entering of nine of the dancers, not just walking in, but powerful mowing, so the first twenty minutes of the performance the audience was sitting fascinated by the world of movements of these first nine dancers. Aftera while, the ruler or the boss entered, and when he came down to earth it waslike he shouldnt step on the floor, so all the dancers with large pieces of wood 2 m x 50 cm, was making like a floor with them self laying under the wood, so the leader culd step up on the and never on the floor
. These kind of movements was developing, and we got a whole history out of it. The 1 hour and 30 minutes disapeared, as it was only five minutes.
