Get a wicked Halloween fright with “Butoh Beethoven – Eclipse,” running Oct. 26–31 at the Producer’s Club, Royal Theater.
Artist Vangeline performs the Japenese dance art butoh (“dance of darkness”) in which dancers first appear as humans — then as ghosts. In this solo piece, she’ll conjure the spirits of butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata and composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
The award-winning show features cutting-edge lighting technology such as a fiber-optic costume by the French company Lumigram.
Celebrate Halloween week with the haunting art form and come dressed in your own costume to any show.
Beware, this performance could be a bit too much for younger children. Suggested minimum age is 14.
“Butoh Beethoven – Eclipse,” Oct. 26–31 at 8 pm. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $18 for students and seniors.
