Nihongo de Hanasoo

Nihongo de Hanasoo is an excerpted from a full evening perfornance work called Gaijin. Like Pop Titles ‘You’, it is an example of Z’s love for found text. She reads the chapter titles from a Japanese language text book accompanied by a loop of her voice reciting the Kana (Japanese phonetic alphabet) and a projected video (by Jeanne Finley + John Muse) of two, slow moving Butoh performers (Shinichi Iova-Koga and Leigh Evans).
