Critical acclaim for Project Godie by the Legendary International Times- Vangeline in the UK

We are thrilled to share this NEW OUTSTANDING REVIEW by Claire Palmer in the LEGENDARY INTERNATIONAL TIMES- The Newspaper of Resistance - about "Project Godie" in Newcastle (UK).

Vangeline had to the pleasure to dance BUTOH as well as choreograph/direct this project presented by Surface Area DanceTheatre.

 

More critical acclaim for Butoh in a legendary counterculture magazine founded in the 60's, supported by Paul Mc Cartney and Allen Ginsberg:

"electric...a psychological confrontation...deeply ominous and unnerving...Hypnotising...sensationally terrifying."

"Western cultural references could be the witches in Macbeth, Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal, Lindsay Kemp’s radical mime/dance show Flowers in the 1970s, or Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. But even with this cache of cultural strangeness under your belt, nothing quite prepares you for the sheer thrill and terror inflicted by the barely perceptible advance of the dancers."

DANCING WITH GHOSTS

EUROPEAN TOUR MAY- JUNE 2016

DENMARK- GERMANY

In this international cultural mix of Japan, Denmark, Israel, USA and France, two modern-day Butoh artists, Yael Gaathon and Vangeline, bring to the stage two solo pieces with complementary and contradictory styles and atmosphere.

By the Fading Light is a Butoh-theater piece about age and aging. In it Yael Gaathon (DK/ISR) unfolds the inner story of a woman past and present, journeying through memories, fears and acceptance.

In Butoh Beethoven Butoh dancer Vangeline (USA/FR) conjures up the ghosts of two passionate giants - founder of Butoh Tatsumi Hijikata and composer Ludwig van Beethoven – creating an hypnotic, electrifying and award-winning solo performance.
