It is characterized by physical movements that tend towards the earth and the subconscious. Butoh\, which is influenced by and incorporates elements of Surrealism\, Dada\, French Existentialism\, German Expressionism\, Japanese theatre and eastern spiritual thought\, was developed in the late 1950’s and 1960’s through experimental collaborations between its founders Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. Their work established Butoh as disciplined and rigorous\, yet spontaneous and idiosyncratic\, intellectual and experimental\, yet grounded in the human body. Instead of aspiring to an aesthetic ideal\, Butoh reveals the primordial human being and the inner world. It implies total presence where dance is an expression of being in the world as well as containing the world within oneself.  It grows from such themes such as dreams\, ghosts\, androgyny\, nature\, solitude and the natural cycles of life and death. \nThe Alternative Library will exhibit a curated selection of local and international small-press art books during the event.
