Great troupe, saw them this year in L.A.. Haven't seen this ftg though. To see a butoh protest of art censorship check out Whiteout: Butoh for BLU on Vimeo.

It's impossible to perceive what this piece is from this tiny clip. Kinkan shonen is a piece of incredibly sustained/contained energies that at the most critical point burst open wide in a perhaps uncharacteristic dénouement. It's still subtle, still very butoh, but unlike anything I have ever seen in my entire life, and I am not a young man.
