Tadashi Endo, former student of the great butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno, is currently director of the Butoh-Center MAMU and the Butoh-Festivals MAMU, based in Göttingen, Vienna. His repertoire includes No theatre, Kabuki, and Butoh, as well as the traditional forms of Occidental theatre. In his extraordinary dances, Endo expresses the field of tension between Ying and Yang, the male and female, and their ever-lasting alteration. In describing his own work, Endo “uses the suggestive power of concentrated movement phrases to explore the closure of life's cycles. He opens up a space that can be either calming or irritating, and in the experience of which, the observer submerges him-/herself into a world beyond time and words, referred to as MA.”
