New York Butoh Institute Festival 19

Local butoh star Vangeline curates this showcase for the avant-garde minimalist art form. Along with workshops and classes, the festival includes seven nights of performances, including Hijikata, Mon Amour (October 24–26), an homage to butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata that Vangeline performs in a replica of the magnificent red costume worn by Hijikata in 1968's Revolt of the Flesh.
