Is the characterization of #JoaquinPhoenix's #Joker connected to a #postmodern icon and #danceperformer , the #Butoh dance #KazuoOhno? First of all:what is Butoh?In a short explanation, this is a #PerformaticDance created by #TatsumiHijikata .He has his cultural background in the north of Japan , where an ancient burial ritual _ #AnkokuButoh , "dance of utter darkness" _ was pivotal for him to innitiate this new cultural system (yes, according to the #NewDance researcher @leticiasekito , Butoh is not only a simple choreography exploration using ancient japanese katas/shapes & techniques.It became a new approache to the japanese culture joining the experience that Sansei Hijikata had with western #moderndance, classical japanese #embodied arts like #NohTheater and #Kabuki , the ritual i quoted above and his own backstore life history to inspire his inner creative process). BTW, Hijikata and Sansei Ohno worked together soon the Butoh movement started in late 50's decade of last century. The journalist and cultural researcher ,@carlotacafiero , during a biographical research about #LuisOtavioBurnier _ #MimeArtist that founed the brazilan #PhysicalTheater group @lumeteatro ,_ that the #CreativeProcess of Butoh could make the "discovery of you own #Clown"(process in which Burnier learned in @ecolejacqueslecoq ) more deep ...and trully for the performer/actor. So, folks, what do you think:JOKER IS A TRAGIC CHARACTER OR A COMIC ONE? Well, until we can't see #ToddPhillip's movie on theater i present you some excerpts of Kazuo Ohno side by side with Joaquin Phoenix for you observe if there is a connection between these 2 great artistic figures.
