Sanbasou
(three birds of Paradise)
60 minutes solo
This choreography draws its source from Maurice Ravel's musical poem “Three beautiful birds of Paradise”. It is divided into three paintings: blue bird, white bird and red bird. They are the messengers of the soldiers who went to war.
This butoh piece which takes place in an imaginary country, at an indefinite period, is inspired by the chaotic news of the world around us.
During war (an imaginary war), three Birds of Paradise bring news of the soldiers from the battlefield.
Utsusemi
(this body in this world)
20 minutes solo
A Japanese woman travels to the past, present and future. The performance begins as the music evokes the curse, deception, and glory of murderous warriors. The woman is embarrassed by her body traversed by jolts. Passage to the time of modern Kyoto. The woman's body is liberated by all these various sounds. A woman goes to the mountain and spends time in a cave. A deformed butterfly, contaminated with radioactivity in Fukushima, flies with outstretched wings. The female body moves smoothly and the promise of a bright future emerges.
Desire for infinity
- solo dance with a violinist
20 minutes
This order from the Musée des Confluences de Lyon was part of the exhibition "Desires for Eternity", the theme of which was death, its perceptions, its approaches ...
With this creation, the choreographer worked on the contrast between ephemeral and eternity to achieve an abstract form of expression, underlined by music by Bach.
With a theme like that of Death, this commission represented a major challenge in terms of creation, technicality and expression of emotions.

Butoh
Japanese contemporary dance
Butoh was born in Japan in the 1960s. Influenced by the European avant-gardes, this dance first tackled the great taboos: violence, eroticism, death. Japanese choreographers have sought to express the full range of emotions: bodies painted white, slow movements, tense and twisted postures that aim to connect the conscious and the unconscious, the exterior and the interior.
Created in order to change many aesthetic and conservative ideas, according to Juju Alishina it was not only the emergence of a new style of dance, it was life itself concentrated in a new form. This explains a decor reduced to the simplest expression where harsh lighting tracks the actor-dancer who emerges like a comet.
Butoh celebrates the rites of life: birth, the burns of amorous passion, pain, death.
In the 80s, we witness the appearance of a new wave of Butoh in which the movements, resolutely contemporary, express a new revolt. It is to this new aesthetic that we can relate Juju Alishina.
