Symposium “50 Years Of Butoh – A Beginning ”

 

Still after 50 years the Butohdance is for many people a mystery, a secret. Make unconscious procedures visible, to turn the soul of humans outward, to show the monstrous dark side of humans and in the same time the beauty of the creation in humans and animals, the whole pallet of human emotions, the transformation of time and space, but also Show and Entertainment, comic, erotic, disgust - everything together on a stage arouse to the life, everything that can Butoh.

 

What else Butoh agitated? Released an aesthetic revolution, was part of a world-wide political movement, broke with traditions, brought out scandals and confusion, has influenced world-wide dance and theatre, shown in form and content new ways and blowed minds away - everything that Butoh caused and nevertheless Butoh is still for many completely an unknown quantity term, even in his homeland Japan. Already by the question „What is Butohdance?“ people are standing at a cross-road.
