Overview
One of the pioneers of media art, Edin Vélez visited Japan in the late 1980s and produced documentary footage focused on butoh. Introducing Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno, and making extensive use of footage of Dairakudakan and Byakko-sha, "Dance of Darkness" was released in 1989. This video consists of unedited footage of an outdoor performance by Byakko-sha, filmed when Vélez visited Japan in 1986. Filming took place at several locations, including deep in the mountains of Kyoto’s Kitayama region and along nearby riverbanks, where Byakko-sha’s excessive “bright darkness” burst forth.
