Workshop & Performance BUTOH on Kythira Island with
MOENO WAKAMATSU and MASAKI IWANA
BUTOH PERFORMANCE KAPSALI SATURDAY 22 JUNE
Solos by MASAKI IWANA and MOENO WAKAMATSU from Japan, and group presentation by dancers who come to Kythira from Greece, Spain, Germany, and Israel.
Butoh dance originates from a radical art movement started in the 1960's in Japan. Today in 2013, butoh still continues to inspire people around the world by it's dance in intensified time and space, without fixed form or rules except the truthfulness to one's own self in relation to the world.
"The Intensity of Nothingness"
With the five kanji characters, 'han-gi-tai-to-kan' (grilling. sacrifice
great nature, dance, mirror), butoh's founder, Tatsumi Hijikata,
encapsulated the importance to dancing of sacrificing our own body and soul
and treating nature as our mirror, or teacher. Through these words, he urged
that we dance a material entity hidden within our body, transcending
society, institutions and norms. Once we perceive our body as a material
entity, morals, dark intentions, desires, concepts of beauty, life and
death, violence and eros become like tiny leaves and are swept along by a
torrent into a vortex of the immensely truthful nothingness existing within
all the blameless origins of the universe. For dancers this nothingness must
have intensity. ( Masaki Iwana )
