I took a choreo class as a directing student in college and I was the only non dancer there. We had a project to research a dance form from around the world and I watched hours of Butoh performance. I feel like it's so primordial that it can tell stories that are unfettered by cultural norms. Never made the Theatre of Cruelty connection but you are totally right!
Tatsumi Hijikata heavily admired Artaud. He even did his own version of Artaud's crazy sound performance To Have Done With The Judgment of God. He did somehow get ahold of it and played it in his class often. @@TheJoker137
Thanks a lot! I'm reminded of the movie The Square where there is an actor who does his best to become an ape, useing prostethics to move like an ape, grunting, jumping around, bothering and challangeing the audience, who try their best to apprieciate the performance while having dinner. Eventually they get dragged in emotionally on almost a primitive level and sort of embrace their animal nature. I tought it was brilliant and it really works as a sort of theatre of cruelty type thing. Anyway, thanks, enjoyed the video!
Working on tactics to tackle the comedy in Phaedra's Love by Sarah Kane for school, these videos helped point out some directions for me to go in! Thank you
As a butoh artist, I feel butoh was Artaud's theatre made to ferment and develop more.
