Yonsei f*ck f*ck is an ongoing series of butoh-ish performances and videos.

Through butoh and made-up rituals, Yonsei f*ck f*ck imagines a future where the cultural erasure associated with Japanese internment camps has been misguidedly overcorrected and distorted into a value system where anime and Japanese junk food have been assimilated into the pantheon of buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Yonsei f*ck f*ck pt. 12 was presented at Judson Church as part of Crossroads Series curated by Pioneers Go East Collective (New York, NY) on December 9, 2021.
Curated by Hilary Brown-Istrefi.
Performed by gorno (Glenn Potter-Takata), evan ray suzuki, and Kimiko Tanabe.

Videography by Jon Burklund/Zanni Productions.

Yonsei f*ck f*ck pt. 12 was developed, in part, through a CUNY Dance Initiative residency at Lehman College.

This project was made possible, in part, through The Movement Research Artist-in-Residence Program, funded, in part, by the Jerome Foundation; Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by The Andrew M. Mellon Foundation; the Harkness Foundation for Dance; the Davis/Dauray Family Fund; and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
