One of the most famous Japanese theatre companies, in Prague for the first time.
Sankai juku (means Studio of the Mountains and Seas), was founded in the Seventies by Ušio Amagacu. The group, which presents the direction of the Butoh style, is at first a stage filled with everything from the fantasy of pictures, unbelievable physically demanding and even decadent aesthetics. Unetsu is an 80 minute meditation about life and death. The picture whose basic elements are water, sand, the human body, and eggs.
