Wildflowers Duo (openers of these doors in '96). Oguri butoh dance uncommon frenetic funny; Adam Rudolph Afrogarbed palmbeat skindrums Chicago train, buzz Tuvan throat. Oguri small twistfaced tightsuited look skyward receiving God seed, spread thighs giving birth, toss yo-yo, fish with dickpole, climb stairs tumble slowly down striking citizen, wrangle wind-jerked kite, cower demonlike at crucifix, climb wall inverted, walk zombie twitch, o taciturn.
