BUTOH - a countercultural form of contemporary dance that was born in Japan at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. It breaks with the canons of traditional art, not only Japanese art. It refers to the folk aesthetics of ugliness, and is itself a ritual that releases internal energy and explores the darkness of the subconscious. It deliberately shows previously forbidden areas of life. Butoh is a dance whose essence is an expanded perception of the body liberated from the automatisms of everyday life, a search for what is authentic in the body, mysterious beauty, openness to contact with the Self and the unity of the Universe in its eternal cycle of life and death. Butoh is a state of mind-body unity enabling a subtle feeling of the internal and external world, a pure experience of changing states of existence. The dancer, existing at the edges of time, opens a space where invisible things are revealed.
