ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER

ButohOUT! 2023 brings you 5 public workshops in September/October in 2023 in various locations and a new experiment in the form of a bizarre Butoh BAR番狂わせOUT of ORDER in November, featuring dance, cabaret, song, poetry, and visual arts woven together by Butoh.

ButohOUT! Out of Order is an invitation to confront and celebrate being out of order. It shines a light on aspects of life that can be difficult to chew, swallow, and digest. This positive approach to the dysfunctionality of today will give artists and participants an unconventional form of relief by way of spiritual upheaval.

Butoh offers a unique perspective on the idea of being out of order, and can provide a source of insight, inspiration and creativity in the face of disruptions and challenges. Serious challenges not only caused by the COVID-19 pandemic but also the global crisis and human tensions we face today which beg the question “How do we create new ways of being that allows our heart and minds to heed what these times are asking of us?”

Welcome to the world of OUT OF ORDER.
