“Love is Shock takes its place alongside the earliest Butoh performances that were created and performed in the aftermath of WWII. Shinichi MOMO Koga has given us a solo performance that digests the horror of warfare and transforms it into a thing of hope. A riveting performer of great skill and craft, Koga embodies the spirit of protest against all the destructive forces on earth.’’
