There were a time ... butoh and Panta-chan






A volte ritornano. E ti rendi conto che ci sono sempre stati, nascosti nei vivaci sotterranei di Tokyo. Ogni tanto, come i famosi "kappa" di Akutagawa, salgono in superficie. E devi acchiapparli al volo.
Ho avuto modo lo scorso week-end di rivedere - e riascoltare - un paio di "miti" degli anni '70 giapponesi.

Il gruppo hard rock "Zuno Keisatsu" (Polizia del Cervello), guidato da "Panta-chan" sorta di Demetrio Stratos locale (eccolo con il casco dell'Armata Rossa, del quale era simpatizzante) e "Kono buttai", una intrigante pièce di "butoh", il teatro d'avanguardia fondato dai mitici Hijikata Tatsuno e Ohno Kazuo (ancora vivo, 104 anni, segno che danzare, anche a livelli stremi, fa bene!) ad opera del danzatore Meguro Daiji, uno dei giovani continuatori di questa intrigantissima scuola. Un'ora di esercizi a corpo libero, usato sia come strumento di autoliberazione, sia come un'arma impropria contro l'apatia e la rassegnazione. Se siete in letargo, vi dà la sveglia, se siete svegli, hypnotizes you. However, a great shock. Reversed.
Meguro
The show goes on all week at D-Soko, a Nippori, here is the link. Go to the page, Japanese, English is not updated

For those who wish to learn the business of Butoh, here's a recent video shot in 2007, Asbestos in the study (now closed). But it has nothing to do with the show of which I speak. Just to have a reference point, on You Tube you have a lot of other stuff.

Kazuo Ohno, here are a couple of his performances the most popular "Dead Sea"

and "Okaasan" (Mother). You had 86 years!

One of the "ribs" of the most famous Butoh, forced to "emigrate" in Europe (France) after their performances were rejected by the theaters, Japan is the group Sankai JUKU: Many will remember them for their extreme performances, monuments were hung upside down, painted white. Only recently returned to Japan for an unforgettable tour, the theater "ku-making" in Setagaya: Tobare (tent)

Butoh, as recognized in one of his last interviews Ohno, no longer has the power to surprise, shock, strike. But preserves the power of the public transfigured.
