  • I saw Carlotta Ikeda and Ariadone perform in London thirty years ago. None of the power that I witnessed then has been lost. Carlotta blazed the trail that other female butoh dansers now follow. Pity the ratings have been disabled. Going on the other comments here, it'd comfortably bring in five stars.

  • WOW! Who's responsible for the music? I must find that recording!

  • @davidtitterington i agree completely. i forget what i said originally. but in watching this again i found a new fondness for her. we all act. my paintings are acts/acting , a representation of the real thing. But then there is the irony of the 'act' being the real thing , the only thing, that represents only it's self. Her dance is 'self' hence the ego i referenced to in earlier comment. she becomes the dance

  • @dirtzoo i know what you mean. but her "acting" may be real. she seems to conjure up those slow, subtle, ghostly states like a shaman, putting aside her ego for moments of transparency. I think its good butoh, just the slow, theatrical kind (but wasn't butoh originally adapted from the fiction/theater experience of mishima yukio?)

  • excellent

    !

  • It'd be nice if someone could tell us who did this music......

  • yes she is great, but she is too much in the theater aspect of dance as opposed to the heart of butoh. ego and performance is more important here than the message of the dance.

  • So.... corpse dancing?

  • @A1phaDrag0n everytime i go to r/creepy. i also leave with a ....the..FUCK?? look on my face.. god damnit reddit.

  • Wow... she really pours her entire self into that dance... never thought something I found on r/creepy would be so... beautiful... 

  • yes please

    who is the composer of the music?????

  • THIS PERFORMANCE BRINGS OUT THE ESSENTIAL OF LIFE
