Sheri Brown
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Saturday, Jan 20 › 9pm › $5
GEKIKAI: post-asiatic salon starring BILL HORIST, VANESSA SKANTZE, DOUGLAS RIDIGNS, SHERI BROWN, NOAH MICKENS, IN THE DEEP MUSEUM, and NEQUAQUAM VACUUM.
"Gekikai" is a Japanese term, meaning both "The World of the Theater" and "The Ways of the Barbarian". Thus Gekikai is the name of our post-asiatic salon: a performative cultural space at the interstices of the radical and traditional arts of Asia and the West. Butoh, odissi, raga, jazz, noise—filtered through a post-modernist and distinctly Western perspective.
This installment of Gekikai revisits a long-form improvisation that happened earlier this year in Seattle. Bill Horist, arguably the world's great virtuoso of the prepared guitar, heads up a cast of post-asiatic musicians who interact both physically and sonically with dancers from the P.A.N., Death Posture, and Societas Insomnia.
