Ko Murobushi

 
Ko Murobushi (1947–2015) was one of the most important performers and choreographers in the Japanese performance scene of the 20st century as well as a key figure in the mediation between the experimental Butoh tradition of Hijikata Tatsumi and anti-logocentric French avant-gardes as Antonin Artaud and Gilles Deleuze. Radically positioned at the intersection of the two, Murobushi reveals himself as an extraordinary and poetic author in his "thinking of the body".
