for bass flute, bass clarinet, percussion, e-guitar, cello, dbass, electronics, dancer and light
By blending ancient and modern elements, traditional and technological aspects, we can forge new expressions and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world. Duality, the interplay of opposing forces or ideas, is fundamental.
Butoh dance delves into the human psyche and body, transcending language and rational thought. It connects us with something primal. Technology, in contrast, extends our control over the world, allowing us to interact innovatively.
Despite seeming incompatible, Butoh and technology create a potent synthesis. Butoh embodies raw emotion, physicality, and the present moment, while technology emphasizes rationality, abstraction, and data manipulation. Together, they surpass individual limitations.
