Breaking out from the constructs of conformity, appearing to first-time onlookers as a twisted, organic yet base form of dance and expression, comes the art of butoh. Visiting a master performer of this uniquely Japanese modern dance, you will be treated to a private performance, with the door being opened to questions unrestrained, inviting you to inquire as to the how and why this art came into existence amongst the protests and rapid change that took place after the second world war. For an evening, be a part of the movement that defied tradition, spurned established conventions of beauty, dismissed the romanticization of youth, and refused westernization, finding a rhythm and creating a following of its own.
