    It has my like. It's okay, but I don't know it gives me a disturbing nihilistic feeling. I don't understand the artistic meaning of this. There is something morbid and masochistic that I dislike. There are works by Kobo Abe and especially Mishima that start well and then end in this unpleasant morbidity.

    This is a very important and precious video. Just validated everything that I felt about Butoh without having any formal training. The whole concept of Butoh somehow goes against the structure of what a formal dance training would entail. Need to feel the universe more. Need to feel the connection that we hold with our surroundings ecology and Butoh is the key to this door :’)

    • @BobDeNatale0
      @BobDeNatale0 10 місяців тому

      I have seen many different types of music used in butoh. While butoh music can often be dissonant and atmospheric, I've seen Kazuo Ohno perform to Elvis Presley (Can't Help Falling in Love with You), and I've seen Akira Kansai perform to Atari Teenage Riot and the the entire 2o minute version of Pink Floyd's Echoes. So anything goes. Music is often used as another element of the environment to respond and react to, and to interact with..
