Featuring footage from Butoh Dance Performance of the dark soul. Aída Miró
This track is called 'Egomantica', an original production released on Dark & Sonorous Recordings. This EP comes together with another track called 'Prestige' which I will share another time.
I found Aída Miró's performance videos and thought what she is doing with her Butoh Dance Performance was a very artistic form of expression that resonated with the idea I had for creating a video for this track. So, I went ahead and asked her for permission to use her performance performance footage to create this music video.
I hope you enjoy.
Butoh (舞踏 Butō) is a form of Japanese dance theatre that encompasses a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for dance, performance, or movement. Following World War II, butoh arose in 1959 through collaborations between its two key founders Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo. The art form is known to "resist fixity"[1] and be difficult to define; notably, founder Hijikata Tatsumi viewed the formalisation of butoh with "distress".[2] Common features of the art form include playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, extreme or absurd environments, and it is traditionally performed in white body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion. However, with time butoh groups are increasingly being formed around the world, with their various aesthetic ideals and intentions.
