Celebrating its third year, ButohOUT! 2020 offers five workshops and two performance seasons exploring the artistic theme of ‘Primal Colour.’ In earlier expressions of Butoh, dancers typically wore white body paint, believed to 'erase' the performers excessive and artificial layers to ‘de-identify’ them.
IN LIGHT OF RECENT UNFORSEEN EVENTS LINKING TO COVID-19, WE REGRET THAT THE 2020 BUTOHOUT! SEASON HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY AND SANITY. WE HOPE YOU WILL SUPPORT US AS NEXT SEASON.
