The performance of Kayo Mikami is really wonderful. Its image is so beautiful. Her acting is perfect. Each movement of her legsand arms mesmerized us. This is performance is incredibly marvelous.

All the movements developing on the stage surprise us ,amuse us, move us, and astonish us. All these feelings are brought to usat the same time.…an old axiom is really hidden in the lines of her body intentionally distorted, that is you can come to see somethingunexpected when you fix your eyes on what is very close to you, or you can notice something large when keep watching simple,or you can something large when you keep watching something small. That is what we call “A Golden Axiom of Art”…

We are grasped by the expressions of their eyes. We are magnetically attracted by their marvelous performances. We are unableto see otherwise than her facial expressions.

JAPANESE Butoh is one of those strange and hauntingly beautiful art forms which Western audiences can appreciate withoutnecessarily understanding in any detail, because the skills involved are apparent - or at least can be guessed at- even when themeaning itself is not clear.
