Overview
- If "butoh" were to appear, manifest, or descend upon the stage, applause would be in order.
I’ve never seen such a god of butoh smile upon the stage, but I cannot afford to sit and do nothing. If the god is hesitant, we must drag him out, smoke him out, and force him to smile: even if it’s a twisted one. That is our way of returning to butoh. - (From the programme)
At the same venue where he performed his first solo butoh in 1971 (then: Koenji Hall), 64-year-old Takeuchi Yasuhiko returns to his roots, 40 years later.
