JAPAN

It is not the body we look at, but the work it carries

An episode from the series BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Synopsis

In Tokyo, we follow a troupe of butoh dancers who work on slowness and marked expressiveness of the body.

In an okiya, we discover the daily life of a geiko, balancing artistic discipline and the management of a profession that is often fantasised about. Here, beauty is the result of training, discipline and attention to detail.
