Poland 2009 / 10’

Paweł Dudziński developing butoh dance in the method of intuitive ritual, became a respectable continuator and successor of the tradition of such great butoh artists as Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. Incantatio is a portrait of an artist in action who invites us inside his own extraordinary spiritual journey. An artist explores with us sacred ritual calling ankoku butoh - the dance of darkness - which is performed in the heart of the forest. In his own searching of new formula of ankoku butoh, performer tries to find the light side of darkness ritual.
