Award-winning choreographer Kentaro Kujirai creates a new Butoh piece using his distinctive hyper-expressive choreography. U-BU-SU-NA, is an old Japanese word meaning "the mystical divine power that protects the land where people were born and raised, and those who live there". Butoh or the 'Dance of Darkness' is an idiosyncratic and physically demanding dance practice which breaks from more traditional forms to explore taboo topics. A specialised art form which takes dancers years to master, Butoh mixes the traditional with the contemporary to create a potent and compelling experience.
