What is Compassion in Japanese Butoh Dance about?

This document discusses the Buddhist concept of compassion as foundational to butoh, a postmodern Japanese dance form. It argues that while butoh is often seen as bizarre, its core is transforming suffering through compassion by depicting the human condition and crisis. The founders described embracing disability and reaching out to ghosts as acts of compassion. Butoh rejects modern fragmentation through non-representational performances exploring the marginal and irrational to liberate viewers.
