4月

Johannes Larsen og Japansk træsnitkunst

Date: 1 April - 31 December 2017

Place: Faaborg Museum

Johannes Larsen (1867-1961) kom aldrig til Japan, men i sin kunst rejste han og fandt inspiration i japansk kunst og kultur. Udstillingen "Johannes Larsen og Japansk træsnit" viser to unikke samlinger af japanske træsnitbøger og træsnit i dansk privateje sammen med japansk inspirerede værker af Johannes Larsen. De to privatsamlinger er resultatet af to privatpersoners Japan-fascination, men i et større perspektiv også resultatet af den åbning mellem Danmark og Japan, som fejres i 2017 med 150-året for oprettelsen af de diplomatiske forbindelser mellem Japan og Danmark. Museet fejrer jubilæet ved at udstille disse to samlinger og rejse spørgsmlet om den japanske kunsts indflydelse på Johannes Lasen, der fødtes i netop 1867, året hvor de diplomatiske forbindelser indledtes. Ud over at give indblik i den helt sælige japanske træsnitkultur, viser udstillingen værker af Johannes Larsen og diskuterer nogle af de paradokser, som den fynske udgave af japanismen var del af.

Copenhagen Grotesque Burlesque: Night of the Kabukimono

Date: 22 April 21.00-04.00

Place: Damhuskroen, Roskildevej 244, 2610 Rødovre

About Night of the Kabukimono:

Kabukimono (歌舞伎者) wander the streets, seeking an audience to join their new experiments in the underworld theatre, full of bizarre costumes and outlandish performances. Finding the streets empty on this spring night in Osaka, in the year 1743, the Kabukimono troupe (finally) finds an empty building, a title above the door – Damhuskroen-za. The Damhuskroen Theatre. Keeping their senses alert for Samurai who might be in the area, they sneak into the theatre to discover a perfect place to hold their performances, a strange yet welcoming venue, and they begin to decorate, and prepare their show. Soon, it is opening night and passer-bys have begun to take notice of the work being done at the Dam Hus Kro-za.

Commoners, samurai, farmers, artists, geishas, and all levels and genders of society allow their curiosity to overrule the social structure, and enter the theatre. They realize this is unlike the other Kabuki theatres popping up around Japan, rather, this is a participatory theatre where everyone joins and performs their own tale with their own characters. Everyone must participate in this kaleidoscope of excessive performances. Upon entering, they are told the secrets of the theatre, and they rejoice: it’s a chance to explore a new persona. Thus, they become their personas, and decorate their faces and bodies, expressing their new persona’s nature: passionate and righteous red, jealous and nefarious blues, supernaturally powered green, and noble purple. They put on their ornate, beautiful, thoughtful, outlandish, bizarre, grotesque. They rehearse their poses and their lines and prepare.

The scene is set, the audience becomes actors, and the play begins: A wild and unpredictable exploration of everyday interactions, of great samurai battles, of enchanting geisha tales, an exploration of self. This theatre pushes the boundaries of what Kabuki has been and could ever be – for everyone joins in, and everyone is an actor, for just one night.

In the morning, exhausted and exhilarated, the participants leave the theatre, and turn around to take one last look, to discover a pile of ashes where the theatre had been moments before. No smoke, no smell of fire… had they imagined it all? Rubbing their tired eyes, they look at their hands, and see the vibrant reds, blues, greens and purple from their makeup. No, this was a truer night than all others.

Kimono Haori - Wearing Art

Kimono in Japanese means "something to wear".

It specifically refers to the national dress of Japan, celebrated worlswide for its distrinctive, elegant silhouette, unchanged through more than one thousand five hundred years.

Haori are casual silk jackets, little sisters of the long robe kimono. They exude grace, sensuality, empowerment and effortless refinement.

All the haori jackets on show are made of exquisite natural silks, a most noble textile, warm in winter, fresh in summer .

All were crafted between 1960 and 1980 in Japan with exquisite techniques of ages past.

Each piece is unique, each is a story yet to become and each one is beautiful.

Come and wear them and if you really like one, you may buy it and take it home.

This is a rare event, as sensually stimulating as spiritually rewarding.
