Synopsis
Butoh is the powerful, avant garde Japanese dance form that shatters the conventions of traditional Japanese dance. This videotaped interpretation captures in a series of brilliantly conceived images the breadth and variety of this dance form. Its dancers strive to show the relatiohship between the physical world and their conscious minds; they seek to reveal their souls, tormented or joyful, through movement. Butoh, with its foundation in individual expression, provides an artistic forum for anti-establishment feelings. In addition to the performance, the tape takes the viewer into rehearsals and into the lives of the seven leading Butoh troupes.
