a transgressive, countercultural dance form created in post-war Japan a post-apocalyptic kabuki, might be another way of putting it it rather defies categorization… 👺

Ooooh is that like what Kazuo Ohno did??? When I was a kid, I saw pictures of him that left this huge impression on my mind.

Wow, yeah! I’ve never seen the actual dancing. But the pictures lodged themselves in my brain. Because he had this like, agonizing and eerie physicality to him that really shook me up. Really beautiful

agonizing + eerie sounds about right, i know exactly what you mean! so very different from our occasionally overly polished western aesthetic.
