GHOST DAUGHTER

Join us for the Los Angeles premiere of Tokyo-based neo-butoh dancer Kana Kitty in collaboration with Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary performance artist Ibuki Kuramochi, with poetry by Jordan A. Y. Smith.

Ghost Daughter 
At the beginning of summer, there is a season across Asia when the boundary between worlds grows thin. Ancestors return, spirits wander, and those separated by time are said to briefly find one another again.

Ghost Daughter unfolds within this threshold. The dead return through the living. A girl becomes a woman, a woman becomes an elder, and an elder returns once more as a girl.

Through daughter, mother, and spirit, the performance traces a matrilineal cycle stretching from ancient worlds into distant futures.
