“O, Kind God!” (2003)

"O, Kind God!" is a further exploration by Kazuo Ohno of how his physical changes impact his daily life and dance. It powerfully showcases the enduring, life-affirming emotions central to his entire body of work. Recorded during a 1999 performance in Venice and a series of shows in Yokohama in 2001, Ohno demonstrates that his dance embodies life in all its forms. Even in his current state of physical immobility, his presence radiates emotion through expressive facial expressions and subtle hand movements – fluid and ever-changing like water and the sky. This documentary reveals the true essence of dance. Kazuo offers us a deeply precious gift.
