Years ago, I wrote about a world famous avant-garde performance pair of which I had never heard (nor had anyone in Washington, D.C.) known as something like Thomas and Ruhler—but Japan-born, NYC-based duo Eiko and Koma, legends whether you’ve heard of them or not, are the real thing. The Butoh-influenced movement artists performed Naked on Friday, June 24 at the MCA, and TOC was on hand to document the event.

Eiko & Koma’s final performance of Naked, until its encore November 8–13, . Admission is free. The accompanying exhibition and retrospective of their career, Time Is Not Even, Space Is Not Empty, remains on display in the MCA’s galleries until November 13.
