Business Overview
In the 1960s, when buto, an avant-garde form of physical expression originating in Japan, was born and nurtured, everything was chaotic and heated amid major political and social upheavals. "Camp" is one of the words used to describe the sensibilities of those days, when counterculture was in full swing and there were many unnameable things. In this work, Hijikata Tatsumi and an avant-garde artist like a beautiful star have thoroughly researched "Rose-Iroki Dance," and by reinterpreting it from the perspective of "camp," which has been attracting attention again in recent years, they attempt to evoke the chaotic energy of dance in its early days, and break down the invisible walls of society cheerfully and happily.
