Blush is a feverish performance in deepest red. SU-EN and her three dancers plunge inside their own bodies accompanied by electronic music and instant images. They listen to the blood boiling under the skin and are inspired by the glowing sky at dawn.

Blush is improvisation and stylised movement, beautiful on verge of the grotesque. The sounds that are born on stage are processed live by musician Lise-Lotte Norelius and photographs by Gunnar Stening are converted live by artist Fredrik Olofsson. SU-EN calls it a ”live-musical-butoh-action-art-installation”.

About SU-EN
SU-EN has pioneered the art of butoh in Sweden. After many years of studying the art in Japan she founded the SU-EN Butoh Company in the nineties, through which she continues to develop her own special butoh method. The three dancers that appear in Blush are SU-EN’s students.
