Butoh and Butoh dancers exist in a threshold state — at the same moment definable and beyond definition. The physical manifestation is the performance, the Butoh dance, experienced by the performers together with the audience.
The performances are unique — born in the moment and disappearing with it. We invite the audience to share a brief moment of our lives, and the invitation is open. Butoh calls viewers to pause within the moment; slowness and intensity are its strength and its opportunity to step, for a while, away from the past and the future. As a viewer, it is possible to ground oneself and to create one’s own story, one’s own meaning from the performance and the experienced moment in relation to one’s own life. The audience becomes co-creators.
