Crasses et Voluptés

Tanaka Min est un des grands noms du Buto, la danse des ténèbres. Invité à danser à la clinique psychiatrique de La Borde par Félix Guattari, Tanaka y réalise une performance d'une rare intensité. Le spectacle se déroule à l'extèrieur devant l'entrée du chateau un jour de printemps. Tanaka Min danse sur une musique de Joseph Cantteloube (Bailèiro). 

I am dancing a single dance throughout my whole life. My dance is identical with the everlasting revolution. I recovered my language through dancing, and saw politics through dancing. I will live up to ethics through dancing, and perceive the map of history through dancing. I gained courage to stand against power through dancing. I am re-scrutinizing the ‘instinct’ through dancing. I want to know God through dancing. I want to encounter matter through dancing. A dancer, in essence, is an anonymous lightning, a medium of the place. This is how I want to be. The endless performance/dance. An attempt to verify dance from the minimal to the maximal by rendering my body as an example. Or an attempt to discover and initiate dance in all places.
