Resonant Void is a Butoh-inspired solo performance exploring the space between birth and dissolution, presence and disappearance, and the hidden emotional landscapes of the body.

Developed in Tokyo in collaboration with Japanese Butoh artist Motoya Kondo, Yuko Kawamoto, and Minoru Hideshima, and dramaturg Conan Amok, and teachers such as Daisuke Yoshimoto, Yumiko Yoshioka, Marie-Gabrielle Rothie, Yumino Seki and Seisaku, the work immerses audiences in a stark, minimal world shaped by membrane-like materials such as mosquito netting and plastic sheeting. These objects become barriers, wombs, thresholds, and skins—surfaces through which the performer emerges, retreats, and transforms.

Drawing from Butoh’s traditions of slowness, intensity, and emotional excavation, alongside elements of performance art, somatic practice, and physical theatre, the piece moves through trembling stillness, creaturely transformation, and ritual-like gesture.

Visually sparse yet emotionally charged, Resonant Void invites audiences to witness what often remains unseen: inner movements of feeling, thresholds between identities, and the quiet force of becoming.

A contemplative and immersive work bridging Japanese Butoh sensibilities with a contemporary European perspective.

Minimal, intimate, and non-verbal, Resonant Void invites audiences into a close-up encounter with presence, fragmentation, and emergence. This is a rare chance to experience contemporary Butoh in a UK context.
