"It is not only nothingness (mu), but here 'nothing' has a form, this is exactly the space that butoh is searching for...Dominique is searching for a new invisible space which only comes out of her body, beyond any intellectual meanings....it was excellent that she quoted from Japanese traditional culture/Ikebana, Noh, Calligraphy, and appropriated them well instead of falling into orientalism."

Shinichi Takeshige, dance critic

The space was originally built in 1868 as a warehouse. It remains the embodiment of Edo architecture. It has miraculously survived two great fires: huge earthquake in 1923 and bombing under the 2nd world war, and constant re-development thus making it unique in downtown of Tokyo.
