Transearth

Live performance collaboration in La Ma Ma Theatre, New York.

 

Alabaster in Motion

Poppo Shiraishi paints himself alabaster white for Transearth, fusing Butoh dance with improv, heavy metal, T’ai chi, and yoga. Joining him against a backdrop of 401 bricks are his 15 GoGo Boys (11 of whom are women). With a score by Nigel Ayers’ Nocturnal Emissions, originators of "video scratching," Transearth plays at La MaMa’s Annex Theater, Thur.-Sun. Oct 91-11 at 7.30
