Butoh Festival

The Butoh Festival is an event dedicated to showcasing Butoh, a Japanese dance form developed in the 1950s that emphasizes expressive movement, often exploring raw emotions, themes of transformation, and the subconscious. Characterized by slow, deliberate motion and striking visual aesthetic, Butoh challenges traditional notions of dance and performance. The festival features performances by artists around the world, workshops, and discussions that explore its history, techniques, and cultural significance. It provides a platform for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to experience and deepen their understanding of this innovative, contemplative art form.
