The great butoh master
KAZUO OHNO 
left this world on Tuesday, June 2, 2010 in the afternoon.
He crossed the river to get to another world.
But in our dreams he will always be close to us.

We want to thank Kazuo Ohno for all his love and help, he gave us
and his initial idea to give Butoh dance a home in Europe at the Butoh Centrum MAMU
and the International Butoh Festival MAMU in Göttingen, where he performed twice.

For this reason Tadashi Endo will give a special intense butoh workshop
in December from 10 to 19, 2010 dedicated to Kazuo Ohno.
In the evening after the training we will show very special films, fotoes, books, original scriptures and a poster exhibition. Tadashi will talk about his very special relationship to Kazuo Ohno his philosophy and his idea of dance.

On Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010 Tadashi Endo will give a performance at the Butoh Centre MAMU.

Tadashi Endo working together with Doris Doerrie
Latest News

The outstanding production of the opera ADMETO from Georg Friedrich Händel, directed by Doris Dörrie, choreographed by Tadashi Endo, conducted by Nicolas McGegan, with the Festival Orchestra Göttingen, with those wonderful singers like Marie Arnet (Alceste), Tim Mead (Admeto), Kirsten Blaise (Antigona), Andrew Radley (Orindo), David Bates (Trasimede), Willliam Berger (Ercole), and Wolf Matthias Friedrich (Meraspe),  with the MAMU DANCE THEATRE (Benjamin Barrett, David Liu, Yael Karavan, Megan Nicely, Pauline Reibell, Daniela Günther, Natsuko Kono, Midoh Ohmura, Miguel Caminero Bueno, Yumino Seki) and Tadashi Endo as solo dancer, was a tremendous success. All six performances in Göttingen were completely sold out and nearly  after each performance the audience was so fascinated and applauded with standing ovations.

In August the opera was performed at the International Festival Edinburgh at the festival theatre with nearly 2000 seats. All three performances were also sold out and the audience really liked it because the applause was quite long, which is very unusual for the Scottish audience.

Doris Dörrie was right to combine the barock music with butoh dance and especially this opera ADMETO was very suitable to be transferred into Japanese style and asthetic. The costumes and stage were designed by Bernd Lepel with his assistant Iris Jedamski and Marianna Simoneit, the lightdesigner was Linus Fellbom. Bernd Lepel succeeded to create a wonderful stage so minimalistic  and the costumes were unbelievable in their colours and so beautiful design and fabrique.

We have to thank Doris and all these wonderful people who made this project such a wonderful and unique experience.
