Butoh WS 3

「本質と存在の奇跡的融合」

These are Tatsumi Hijikata’s words. 

Tatsumi Hijikata said, “Butoh dance is a miraculous combination of essence and existence.”

“Essence” is about things that do not change.

“Existence” is about things that change.

Once when “Mishima Yukio”, a well-known writer came to have dinner with us, he said that “Humans do not change. It is civilization that changes.”

With a big surprise, I said, “Really? Humans do not change...?” 

As for things that do not change, 

this studio, Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio is one of them.

So, let’s meet this studio. 

Let’s dance with this Dance Studio.
