Description
This compact book explores the innovative work of two key figures in modern Japanese theatre: Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo. It delves into the founding of butoh, a dance form that emerged from their partnership, as well as its international assimilation.
The book also examines how post-World War II Japan's social and political issues influenced the development of butoh, and provides insight into metamorphic dance experiences that students of butoh can explore. A glossary of English and Japanese terms is included to support further research.
