Butoh-fu
A doll is smouldering. This is wrapped around in flower pollen. Suddenly flames engulf the doll. It becomes ”Hyakki Yako”, a hundred goblins in the night, who retreat while trancing the seams of the gown worn by a Rakan, one of Buddha’s disciples. After they crumble into fine pieces, it becomes man with burns. This man separates and becomes two dolls, which are wrapped around in flower pollen again. Then they become two people with burns. One burnt man stays the same, the other becomes a ghost. Both step back, becoming shadows. Various faces appear in the shadows. They overlap each other, which form an unever wall. This wall, like peeled scabs, become ghosts that walk over Monet’s ”Water Lilies“.
Explanation
It is to dance in slow motion the process of a plece of wood burned into smoke. In the course of this process things come and go.
