“Ghost Daughter,” featuring the Los Angeles debut of Tokyo-based neo-butoh dancer Kana Kitty in collaboration with Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary performance artist Ibuki Kuramochi, will be performed on Tuesday, July 7, at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) at Beyond Baroque, 681 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles.
At the beginning of summer, there is a season across Asia when the boundary between worlds grows thin. Ancestors return, spirits wander, and those separated by time are said to briefly find one another again.
“Ghost Daughter” unfolds within this threshold. The dead return through the living. A girl becomes a woman, a woman becomes an elder, and an elder returns once more as a girl.
Through daughter, mother, and spirit, the performance traces a matrilineal cycle stretching from ancient worlds into distant futures.
The dancers will be joined by poet Jordan A.Y. Smith. An artist talk/Q&A will follow the performance.
