Oguri and Honeysuckle.
Shovels, old black suits, and barbed wire set the scene for a butoh Butoh (舞踏, butō) exploration of William Faulkner titled Caddy A plastic container that holds a CD or DVD disc for added protection. The bare disc is placed in the caddy, and the caddy is inserted into the drive. A caddy is not a jewel case. A jewel case protects the disc for transportation. A caddy protects the disc while reading and writing. ! Caddy! Caddy! after the tragic heroine of The Sound and the Fury. Oguri and Honeysuckle honeysuckle, common name for some members of the Caprifoliaceae, a family comprised mostly of vines and shrubs of the Northern Hemisphere, especially abundant in E Asia and E North America. Dance Troupe present a rich weaving of movement, music, and text that disturbs and delights, transporting audiences to Faulkner's gothic South. Taken with the author's multiple-viewpoint storytelling and recurring characters, Oguri adapts the approach for dance. The four dancers' faces morph into creepy, erotic, and decaying images as they embody the author's characters. Says the choreographer, "We paint them with our dance."
