Butoh-fu
- An orangutan is brushing his teeth with a big toothbrush, but he slowly becomes a seal. In turn, the seal slowly becomes a dinosaur. As the dinosaur walks, he slowly transforms back into an orangutan.
- A horse neck stretches up and stops. Hair grows on his back and he becomes an orangutan. Suddenly, a flattened dog like a match box which is stepped upon appears. The dog’s timing is important.
- A cat gets wet. The cat is stretched and becomes a dinosaur. It is stretched further and becomes a rag.
- A horse neck has grown enormous and becomes a dinosaur. As soon as it walks two steps, it has become a rabbit.
- A gorilla becomes a gorilla in the dark. Then it becomes an orangutan. It then becomes a person who’s broken leg is in a cast. In turn, it becomes an orangutan again, which goes back to being a gorilla in the dark, and then finally is back as a simple gorilla. (Please see Francis Bacon’s paintings for these beasts.)
