Butoh - Dance of Darkness

Stumble This...short excerpt from a one hour documentary on Japanese Butoh dance.
"Butoh (θθΈ, butΕ?) is the collective name for a diverse range of techniques and motivations for dance inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement. It typically involves playful and grotesque imagery often performed in white-body makeup but there is no set style. Its origins have been attributed to Japanese dance legends Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno."

Very similar to western idea of hell, too, which is quite interesting.
