Shinichi Iova-Koga, the part-Japanese founder of inkBoat, and longtime collaborator Yuko Kaseki of cokaseki, a Berlin-based Japanese butoh artist, throw themselves into this duet directed and designed by cokasekis Marc Ates. Winner of the 2005 Best Ensemble Performance award from the Isadora Duncan Dance Committee, Ame to Ame follows two powerful performers as they navigate their way through a sweet and philosophical love story, moving between suspension and manic struggle, from childlike play to sexual prowess. www.japansociety.org

Footage from last nights show... absolutely amazing. Out of the literally hundreds of bands Ive seen live, Sleepytime still never ceases to amaze me with their show. I cannot think of a show more memorable and amazing than Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Coming in close second is the Residents and some of Mike Patton's amazing projects. None of them are even close the the caliber of musicianship this whole band displays nonstop... Amazing vocal harmonies, Home-made instrumentation and percussions, and some of the darkest melodies and songs ever written. ----From Wikipedia---- According to their extensive liner notes for Grand Opening and Closing, their official history and repeated in interviews, the name "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum" comes from a small group of Dadaists, Futurists, and artists named the Sleepytime Gorilla Press who owned and operated what they called a "museum of the future" which was "anti-artifact, non-historical and closed."[2] The "museum" opened on June 22, 1916 (the same date as the bands' first concert, 83 years later). The exhibit was a fire which caused wide chaos and confusion. The following day the museum was closed (hence the name of the first album). The name itself apparently comes from a poem called "Of the Future Hides the Past," written by Museum members Lala Rolo and Ikk Ygg. Their live performances have featured puppet shows, pseudo-scientific scholarly presentations, and performances by members of the Butoh group inkBoat. The band uses many <b>...</b>

Open your heart to the lord of light Open your heart and mind and let him in He holds the key to the throne of might You are empty Say his name and let him in All hail the dawn of a rising star All hail the crowned and conquering child Morning will come for you at last No matter how far into night you have strayed Say his name Welcome the child A new world is crawling from the ashes of the old Two thousand years of guilt and fear And the greatest lie ever told Out of the wounded side of the dying god Out of the sacred heart of the throttled hen The blood is the life The flowing milk for the infant god The throne is empty The cup is full He approaches and then He steps from the shadow and he opens up his eyes He spills the blood onto the throne And hurls a curse up to the skies I am the adversary and must remain the adversary

The future sticks out its tongue in the eyes of the gentle past It fears its own demise but knows it cannot last This momentary throne precariously formed from its ashes It takes the time we thought was ours below to be reborn Throw us away like a stack of old paper Learn not from our scrawls Close your ears to our rantings And come against us Flex your hooked claws and sniff Like a dog at the stench of our decaying minds Distrust the deceitful math of our perishing eyes Run away from the phthisicky past

Let us turn our backs on this world of ease Let us turn our backs and walk away Let us close our eyes to the glory of the machine Let us close our eyes and walk away The houses are all gone under the sea The dancers are all gone under the hill The houses are all gone under the sea the dancers are all gone under the hill 'And let us dream now the impossible dream of a math professor' Even when the last tree falls - there will be fire Even when the last bird is caught Wooden boxes Lovingly made by hands And filled up with fire To blow off the hands of the strong With wooden boxes 'And let us never forget that the human race with technology is like an alcoholic with a barrel of wine' Rise up! bring down the freedom club Rise up! Dream your impossible dream Crawl from the hole in the earth Crawl! The captains of this ship of fools are flesh, and softer than wood The Freedom Club The Freedom Club Rage The Freedom Club The Freedom Club Wait The hermit of the woods is gone They shan't take him down And even though his mind now is corrupt His desperate warning lives on 'Blandly titled industrial society and its future' Rise up! Bring the funeral Rise up! Dream your impossible dream Crawl from the hole in the earth Crawl! The captains of this ship of fools are flesh, and softer than wood. The Freedom Club The Freedom Club Rage The Freedom Club The Freedom Club Wait Let us lay to rest our future dream Let us leave it to rust and walk away Let us turn around on the road of progress <b>...</b>
