Ozen | Salle Poirel お膳｜ポワレル劇場
A group performance by Kazuo Ohno and four of his students from the Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio, which had originally been planned as part of Admiring La Argentina. The concept later came to fruition as Ozen (sometimes translated as 'A Table'), or A Dream of Fetus. It was performed along with Admiring La Argentina at the Nancy International Theatre Festival on the 14th May 1980.
According to Reiko Sawa, who was in charge of lighting for the tour in Europe, the Salle Poirel is an old theatre constructed some 100 years ago near Nancy station. Usually, it is used as a concert hall. It is a beautiful theatre with a canopy decorated with stained glass and a gigantic pipe organ on stage ('Kazuo Ohno who returned to Erurope' in Dance Work vol.28).
