"A SADEV book."

Butoh is an explosive, convention-shattering performance art that has redefined the limits of dance and theater. The form was created by a handful of avant-garde postwar Japanese artists who drew upon their native agrarian myths, the iconoclastic theater of Antonin Artaud, and the influences of Western modern dance. But Butoh is more. It is perhaps the most daring attempt yet made to translate the mysterious, often tormented life of the unconscious into the communal medium of theater. Mark Holbornīs essay is based on extensive interviews with Hijikata and other major Butoh pioneers. -Book Jacket.
