The beauty of avant-garde Butoh lies in its embrace of imperfection - where a disheveled kimono, distorted posture, and erratic motion evoke raw emotion and profound depth.

Grounding through stillness on tatami is a core principle in Noguchi Taiso. Butoh, by contrast, thrives on the tension of imbalance - where distorted posture becomes a poetic contradiction to physical rootedness.
And then turmoil begins...
