HA DÔ Budapest

HA DÔ
hullámmozgás

“Bathing my torn and wrinkled self

In its former credos

Gathering piece by piece

From blood, flames and woes

Stashed away, a living dead.

Loyal witness of Yesterday

And my own tributes may be needed,

To help me lift my face

In dear tribute

To a new world filled with new men.”

(excerpt from Seed Under Snow byEndre Ady)

Tadashi Endo, living and working in Göttingen, Germany, is one of the greatest butoh dancers and choreographers living today, trained by the iconic founders of butoh dance, Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. He has been the head of the MAMU butoh centre in Göttingen for 25 years.

Tadashi Endo is presenting his work HA DÔ – Wave Motion, after Brazil and Germany, in Hungary, performed by the Yvette Bozsik Company, itself celebrating its 25th anniversary. The joint premier is the result of three years of collaboration between Tadashi Endo and the Yvette Bozsik Company, which was preceded by several intensive butoh workshops in Budapest.

The performance serves as a memento to the all-time victims of wars.

“Where can people find a true home?

Perhaps where they can find love and safety?

Could this be the reason for the wandering

throughout our lives incessantly?”

Tadashi Endo
