| The performance is based on haiku by Japanese poet Kikaku Takarai: „The Sacred Dances of the Night / White is Them Breath / Behind the Masks”. The performance is as a result of artistic and theoretical researches of butoh, nature, strong visuality, and body mind interaction. Performance’s inspiration came from human transformation into nature’s materials which is close to animistic thinking and accent our deep links with the Nature. Everything is alive in the Nature – from born to death. Butoh – time between breath in and breath out. |
