Information

iFlash: Anatomy Not Found.exe
by London Butoh Dance Company (Posthuman Theatre)

A body dissolves into data. Memory becomes code. Identity glitches in the void.

iFlash: Anatomy Not Found.exe is the second part of London Butoh Dance Company’s posthuman trilogy, a visceral exploration of disembodiment, digital decay, and the search for wholeness in a collapsing virtual world.
Inspired by Butoh’s radical physicality and the philosophies of posthumanism and transhumanism, the work merges dance, theatre, sound, and projection into an unstable landscape of corrupted anatomy and fractured selves. Performers embody posthuman figures haunted by artificial longing, moving through glitches, delays, and distortions as the stage pulses with digital heartbeats and immersive sonic glitches.

Where the trilogy’s first part, Of Mirrors and Shadows (2024), exposed the human body’s emotional fractures, iFlash shatters that body entirely—casting it into a liminal space where flesh is obsolete and only fragments remain.

Immigrant-led and internationally rooted, London Butoh Dance Company brings diverse voices into an aesthetic that transcends language and borders, creating performance that is raw, unclassifiable, and intensely human—even in its dissolution.

iFlash: Anatomy Not Found.exe invites audiences into a world of beautiful malfunctions and overcorrection, where broken systems reveal unexpected pathways to transformation.
