Tickets from $20
Running time: 40 minutes

Brave Prince reflects the body under pressure, a body silenced, watched, heavy with memory, yet still quietly resisting. Inspired by figurative sculpture, the movement feels as though it has been carved from endurance itself. Rather than telling a linear story, the performance invites the audience to witness a body that remembers, perseveres, and transforms.

Brave Prince is about courage that grows in silence and about the quiet decision not to surrender.

Brave Prince is a Butoh performance accompanied by a display of paintings by artist Shahryar Shahamat
