Butoh, mon amour

Butoh experiments with Zov in Tesco Eastgate, Bristol, 2024

“When one considers the body in relation to dance, it is then that one truly realizes what suffering is: it is a part of our lives. No matter how much we search for it from the outside there is no way we can find it without delving into ourselves.” 

Tatsumi Hijikata
