Sketches of the Neurology Ward


神経病棟のスケッチ

Butoh-fu

  1. A person washing dishes becomes a chopped head of an executed man, displayed on a gibbet which is washed away by a river.
  2. A dwarf becomes a man’s plastered neck shown in Joseph Turner’s painting. He becomes something material and slowly looks back once.
  3. The perfum of death hands like a veil in front of a man’s face. He becomes a shivering crow which then withdraws into the back.
  4. A neck of a long-tailed peacock rolls four times.
  5. A long—haired ghost withdraws into the rear, shaking his head. The following are based on paintings by Francis Bacon.
  6. A man walking with a monkey in his arms becomes a dog.
    The dog then becomes a gorilla.
  7. A man wearing glasses, shot in the face like in the man portayed in a painting of the Battleship Potchemkin by Francis Bacon is wlaking on a tight rope in the air.
  8. The pope’s left hand is scratching walls. The right feet becomes a flag, which is waved four times.
  9. A man trying to mediate and stop a fight appears, running. He suddenly becomes weak and then stares at the water in the swimming pool.
