Each mourning brought back memories of old lives,

after rebirths,

Until surrender.

Neo-Butoh is a contemporary evolution of the traditional Japanese dance form known as Butoh, which emerged in the late 1950s. Butoh, often referred to as the "Dance of Darkness," is characterized by its avant-garde, expressive, and often grotesque movements

Neo-Butoh retains these core elements but incorporates modern influences and interdisciplinary approaches, blending various performance art techniques.
