UTT Mitchell Theatre. Run finished. Carlotta Ikeda’s art is complete. 80 powerful is her physical presence that almost any description of her performance would be trite. Birth, life, death—she lives them all in an hour using a movementcalled Butoh and encapsulating the theatre in a time of her own. In the beginning it is dark- even the Exit signs are down — like waking up in the middle of the night and thinking you are blind. Then it is white, and Ikeda sets a hypnotic pace.
Each section, piercingly beautiful, peels off a layer of life. Though she emits sounds - utt is one — it is her body that giggles like a child, mumbles in old age and cries in birth. Her extraordinary performance ends in showers of rustling salt which eventually buries her naked body in a relentless
ilow.
Breathtaking is too mild a word. (Alice Bain)
