Immersive Butoh Museum

Immersive Butoh Museum is a intimate, living and site-specific group performance project that dissolves the conventional boundaries of stage and audience. Often set in unconventional spaces—underground houses, lived-in spaces, and nature—each performance emerges from a deep dialogue with its surroundings. Dancers surrender to the inner and outer space, allowing it to move through them, while audiences roam freely, shaping their own experience like wandering through a museum of living art.

There is no singular perspective—where one stands, how long one stays, and the angles from which one observes all shape the experience. This fluid and intimate exchange breaks conventional performance structures, making the audience an integral part of the dance, subtly influencing it with their presence.

For the performer, this demands deep listening—to the space, to the audience, and to the unseen exchanges in between. Immersive Butoh Museum invites both dancer and viewer into a shared act of presence, where performance is not just witnessed but lived.

Rooted in the belief that art emerges from life and gives back to life, this ongoing project has been presented in Auroville, India; Barcelona, Spain; and Dali, China, continually evolving with each new space and encounter.

Body is the movement, space is the dance
