MAXXI Auditorium – admittance free while places availabl
Born during the 1960s in a marginal territory suspended between dance and theatre, Japanese but? has expanded the concept of dance and offered the world of theatre an admirable example of an organic actor, capable of modulating his presence through a complete fusion between art and life. In an era of protest and profound cultural changes but? became a sort of exhortation to the common man to improve the quality of his existence. Kazuo ?no (1906-2010) remains both a symbol and legend of this way of life. His story focuses on the vision of a body that refuses to be a “tool” of communication, preferring instead to simply present itself for what it is. An expressive revolution and a powerful defence of the particularity of the individual in a society of consumers and global culture.
