Aug 20, 2009 - This looks like it influenced dancers from the Tool video Schism. Interesting.

Aug 20, 2009 - I saw this performance and I think some of the information is not correct. First, it was in summer 2005 -unless there was another performance the following year. And second, the music was made not only by the Swiss group but by the Tenri University Gagaku group. The performer technique is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, specially in the final part -which is missing here- since the audience could not see anymore a human body. Unforgotable indeed.

Sep 20, 2009 - The white body makeup is a part of Butoh. Butoh was formed after WW2 and was a reaction to the bomb being dropped on Japan twice and to Western dance. The horror of the bomb and the horror of what it is to be human, the horrors that humanity endures and is capable of resonate in Butoh. This particular dancer is particularly adept and he is absolutely brilliant.

Oct 27, 2009 - This is amazing, the only thing I have ever seen come close is a tool concert. They had performers on stage doing similar movements. I think perhaps they studied butoh. Fascinating.

Then he moves around, learns his ability and surroundings and gains confidence as he sits upright and smiles. Then through a little ingenuity he hops himself up. His legs are weak and he falls down again. He looks at his foot like, "What's wrong with it?" Then it dawns on him that he won't get back up those stairs any time soon. Exasperated, he slumps down.
