「身体の美学・無限の表現-舞踏」
The Core of Butoh – True Beauty of Human Body | Nobuyoshi Asai | TEDxAnjo
日々の生活を積み重ねる中で人々の身体に残る汚れ、傷、シミ、シワに、深い美しさを感じる浅井信好。便利さを追い求め続ける現代の中、失われつつある身体本来の動きを浅井は踊りに映し取る。型も正解もない舞踏。その言葉や理解を超えた底知れない身体表現の美しさを堪能してください。「狂気の発作」よりREI。
Nobuyoshi Asai feels profound beauty in scars, stains, or wrinkles left on aged human bodies through their daily lives. While our bodies have been losing its natural physical abilities in a modern society addicted to extreme convenience, Asai conserves its movements and beauty in his Butoh dance. Butoh has no style. And there is no correct way to perform Butoh either. Enjoy its infinite inspiration from the human body beyond any expression or understanding. REI from “Le Coup de Folie (Insanity Attack).”
