I feel terribly ignorant here but does anybody know the name of those long metal percussion instruments Haino-san uses? I've seen him with them a few times but would love to know what they are

This is dance at it's purest form without rules or protocol or conformity. This is the soul's purest physical expression. Please ignore the negativity and continue to post more. You have my full support. Thank you for sharing.

[Zahidanza]

I agree.

What the hell should that 1:47 min. mean !!!!?????

If only you could understand that insanity is happiness

[xsajienx]

Insanity can be happiness but is not happiness. All things are not one but all things are just all things accordingly. General statements fail in logic, as do you, as do I, as do we all.

XSAJIENX ; Butoh : The ghost of the dead speaking though the living ... some people use art / dance / whatever they're passion is to describe / emote the darkness of life .. what is art ? what is dance ? I would say insane retardation is a person who choses to live w/ a negative mind-set ...

[xsajienx]

Art and dance can not be described and my choice in words and tone was wrong. I watch this again with a more open mind but I still find it ridiculous. You would say insane retardation is a person who chooses to live with a negative mind-set, but not only would that opinion be in direct correlation with my previously stated opinion, rending it no different on principle, but it would also make it just your opinion, which is just as true or false as mine. Who are any of us to judge anything?

i have a few more videos of butoh on page five and six of my PLAYLIST ( in my opinion some of the better ones on youtube ) check out the short 'dance of darkness ' vid it explains butoh .. if you like

[xsajienx]

As I laid in bed thinking about this, I realized a laughable contradiction and I was compelled to get up and come back to comment again. You are defending the ideals of portraying the darkness of life: tragedy, death, loss, etc. Yet I am the one who chooses to live with a negative mindset? So you view yourself as the contrary? The optimist? The hopeful? Yet you dwell on the concept of death and darkness. That is logical. (note the sarcasm)

[deepbluehue3]

actually no ...unlike alot of posters , i was not attacking you or making a referance to you when i posted .

[dimeloloco]

wouldn't the negative mindset be the one that closes itself off from tragedy, death, loss.. couldn't you embrace it for what it is and create beauty from those feelings?

let your duende out
