Overview

Thoughts are always elliptical. They come near then far into the distance again. Is existence nothing but distance? There are many overlapping ellipses. Life and death, light and shadow, and my reflected self wanders through the labyrinth of the body. There, the attractions and repulsions of butoh and image violently collide. A flood of shadows overflow from the inside out. This is the start of an outside without an inside. When these incidents occur on stage, the large ellipse tilts.' - Waguri Yukio
