Butoh

I went to see the "Buto" tonight.
Butoh is a radical, often controversial, avant-garde dance movement that began in Japan in 1959.
Dairakudakanhttp://www.dairakudakan.com/rakudaindex.html
is the oldest surviving and largest butoh company in existence.
The name of the repartoie is "Manna" which is the second collaboration between Kumotaro Mukai and Eric Santos.

Kumotaro Mukai is a principal dancer in Dairakudakan, and has performed extensively throughout Asia, Europe, North America and Middle East. Prior to joining the groupe in 1994, he was a atudent of martial in Osaka, Japan. He received the Dance Critics Society of Japan Rookie Award in 2005.

Tonight's perfomance was co-sponsored by The Centor for World Performance Studies and The Centor for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan.

I couldn't understand the world and have no words to express the inpression.
But if you're interested, I recommend you to see it once.
