Dustyhawk :: Broken Mirror

On May 25th & 26th, drop by KLPAC and experience a dance theatre which focuses on the Japanese dance art Butoh in Malaysia by Nyoba Kan. Butoh is the collective name for a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for dance, performance, or movement inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement.

It typically involves playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, extreme or absurd environments, and is traditionally performed in white body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion, with or without an audience. There is no set style, and it may be purely conceptual with no movement at all. Its origins have been attributed to Japanese dance legends Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno.
