Tatsumi Hijikata and the Butoh Legacy:

I read that he didn't actually kill the rooster.

  2. Oh, Kris, Shūji Terayama is dear to me. So is his sound-collaborator, JA Seazer. The places these two take me...

    Have you seen/heard "The Cage"? I love it- especially the soundtrack.

    Thank you for sharing this. It's funny, I've been to this website several times and I've even watched Terayama works on this very site, but never this one. Beautiful. Thank you.

  3. I think I started to watch it on YouTube, but don't think I finished it. It is tinted quite blue, right? A look that was probably fairly original for it's time, but looks so cliche now with so many people cross-processing slide film and using Holgas. Tis a shame! But I must look up this Seazer fellow, and will try The Cage again and if nothing else, listen.
