“Still, the most invincible performance remains Eiko and Kama’s “Mourning” collaboration with the avant-garde pianist Margaret Leng Tan. Eiko and Koma, who studied with both Hijiknta and Mr. Ohno and have been working in New York since the 70s, choose not to label their art as Butoh. In the end labels don’t matter much; in the spirit of Butoh, it’s the art itself that lives or dies.”
