“About Kazuo Ohno” by Takao Kawaguchi ((c) Takuya Matsumi/ Provided by NPO Dance Archive Network)
An “underground” festival now under way traces the history of the modern Japanese dance form of “butoh” against the backdrop of the postwar period of rapid economic growth in Tokyo.
The Tokyo Real Underground festival, which runs until Aug. 15, comprises a photo exhibition and videos of butoh performances streamed online.
Butoh was founded by Tatsumi Hijikata before its principle was taken over by Kazuo Ohno, Akaji Maro and Ushio Amagatsu. The performing art has inspired the art scene across the world since the 1960s.
The word “underground” in the festival’s title refers not only to Tokyo’s underground spaces but also to an anti-commercial, experimental art movement known as “angura,” short for underground.
What is butoh dance and why is it like this?
