Sankai Juku, Japan’s finest exponents of Butoh dance, presents a boy's dream about life and death in Kinkan Shonen.

Sankai Juku create dreamlike performances which weave meticulous, spellbinding movement with breathtaking, large-scale staging in a theatrical experience quite unlike any other.

Kinkan Shonen, explores a boy's dream about life and death using mystic imagery as dancers’ bodies slowly transform into a series of almost non-human shapes, and a live peacock patrols the stage.

Kinkan Shonen is followed from Fri-Sun by Toki, one of the Sankai Juku’s newest works.
