Abstract |
This documentary takes us into the world of creation of a great Japanese Butoh dancer and choreographer, CARLOTTA IKEDA, and reveals an erotic and chaotic world full of humor. This 3-chapter program consists of a documentary, clips from her ballet 'Le language du Sphynx' and a third part, 'Ai-Amour', conceived and directed as a fiction. The final part is based on Carlotta Ikeda and Ko Murobushi's joint creation, iAo-Amouri, filmed and edited in a proper form peculiar to the language of film-making. Kamal Musal draws a chaotic, feminine, erotic and humoristic portrait of CARLOTTA IKEDA and her art. With strong images and a daring soundtrack, Ai-Amour goes deep into the chaos of the butoh, to the point where the light is, in the invisible world. 'Ai-Amour' has been awarded the Silver Fipa Award from the 8th International Festival for Audio-Visual Programmes in Nice, France. |
