Antony and the Ohnos

As part of the Meltdown series at the Southbank curated by Antony (and the Johnsons), an evening dedicated to butoh legend Kazuo Ohno, who died in 2010. Along with Tatsumi Hijikata, Ohno is credited with developing the Japanese dance form butoh, an ultra slow-moving, extremely expressive mode of performance. In this dance and music event, Antony shares the stage with Ohno's son, Yoshito, and performance artist Johanna Constantine as well as screening excerpts from Chiakji Nagano's 1973 film, 'Mr O's Book of the Dead'.
