Overview
Presented as part of the 1st OSAKA DANCE EXPERIENCE, a festival that ran for 6 years from 1995 to 2000 with the aim of re-exploring butoh. The butoh group Kobuzoku Arutai (Altaic), led by Kuritaro, had moved from Hokkaido to Kansai the previous year when Kuritaro moved to Tamba. 'Warazu' means 'straw' in the local Tamba-Sasayama dialect. While working in agriculture and construction, Kuritaro wanted to make a piece themed around peasants and the countryside, and created this work about seeking inner salvation from the inescapable reality of such a life.
