Mr. O's Book of the Dead
The Garden Cinema, Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London, Holborn
About
A special screening of the film Mr. O's Book of the Dead, followed by a Q&A with Mitsuyo Uesugi, who is visiting from Japan and will share her experience of working on the film 50 years ago. The event is presented by Rebellious Bodies Festival and NPO Dance Archive Network. The film is the final instalment in an experimental trilogy by documentary filmmaker Chiaki Nagano and pioneering butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno, and features 'Mr. O' (Kazuo Ohno) and a troupe of his students, including Mitsuyo Uesugi. Shot in numerous places across Japan from Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido to Yokodai Pig Farm in Kanagawa, it is, in Nagano's words, 'about one of our deaths, and a starting point towards somewhere new'.
