TRU Glossary



BUTOH Sunakku

BUTOH Sunakku is the TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND base for recording live events.
The TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND festival is being held along the Ginza line—the oldest subway line in Asia—in the Ueno, Ginza and Shibuya areas. Most of the festival is being filmed in Ueno. In cooperation with “Arts & Snacks”, an organisation utilising empty snack bars (known as “sunakku”) in the Ueno and Yushima districts, a recording space has been set up in an empty sunakku in the Ueno/Ikenohata area for the duration of the festival. All live events such as the aftershow talks with the artists are being streamed from this BUTOH Sunakku.
In cooperation with: Arts and Snack Executive Committee, Ikenohata Fujii and Tokyo Cultural Heritage Alliance


Butoh Exhibition Dance

For some of our talks, Butoh dancers have been invited to perform a slow, sculptural “Butoh Exhibition Dance” as the discussion happens around them. This is a new style of event where talks are conducted in a Butoh-inspired atmosphere.


*Kazuko Night*

On Kazuko Nights, our director of the Un Certain Regard program Takao Kawaguchi hosts our BUTOH Sunakku as a Japanese snack bar “mama”, and invites artists to talk about the concept and process behind their work. The *Kazuko Night* set is dressed by our graphic and web design team Young Soul.
