ButohOUT! 2023
ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER
Wed 15 - Sun 19 Nov 2023
@Abbotsford Convent - Industrial School
ButohOUT! 2023 presents a new experiment in the form of a bizarre nightclub, known as the ButohBAR, featuring dance, cabaret, song, poetry and visual arts woven together by Butoh – originally called the Dance of Darkness.
Reviving the 70’s/80’s era where Butoh thrived in nightclubs and strip joints, ButohBAR 番狂わせ OUT of ORDER summons the raw spirit of those times, embracing the metaphor of a human world out of order to provoke reflection on our own post-pandemic existence.
