Welcome to Asbestos Hall

Late Night: Takao Kawaguchi - Eat Chalk

Takao Kawaguchi

At Trajal Harrell’s invitation, Kawaguchi will engage in a performative dialogue in Welcome to Asbestos Hall. Late Night – Eat Chalk is divided into two parts: a video and a performance. During the video, Kawaguchi talks about the final years of Kazuo Ohno’s life.


Alongside Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno (1906–2010) is considered one of the originators of butoh, the experimental Japanese dance form that is also a great inspiration for associate artist Trajal Harrell.


The second part, the performance, is inspired by Ohno’s final years of dancing - on and off his wheelchair - shortly before he passed away at the age of 103 in 2010.
