The Lifetime of Ladyboy Ivan Ilyich

“Those who are discriminated as a sexual minority.

On the other hand, those who have arrogance and honour because of beauty. By getting older it is gradually not declining, becoming ugly and rusty. Its contradictory duality, the discrepancy in him is going to foster things anew.”

Masaki Iwana

______________________

Considered one of the most acclaimed contemporary Butoh performers in Japan — Masaki Iwana is a rarity among artists since he still maintains the original Butoh spirit, having begun his dance career outside the “butoh genealogy” in 1975. By 1982 he had presented 150 experimental performances in which he stood straight, completely naked and perfectly still.

Since then, Iwana has performed and hosted workshops continuously in Europe and Japan, and has created works built on his sharpened aesthetic in more than 100 cities and 40 countries around the world.
Iwana represents the Institute for the research of Butoh – La Maison du Butoh Blanc, based in southern Normandy in France. In 2008 he produced and created the theatrical film Vermilion Souls, following this with A Summer Family in 2010, Princess Betrayal in 2012, and Charlotte-Susabi in 2017.
