From May 7 to 15, the two artists Masaki Iwana and Moeno Wakamatsu will be guests at the Weltkunstzimmer for the Butoh special "GHOST. Nature, essential experience of existence."
According to Masaki, dance is “a realization of one’s own specific dream through the
Body." First, each individual must work on their body awareness. By this, Masaki means the entire body, encompassing all levels: biological, spiritual, and intuitive. His intentions are, on the one hand, to heal himself, and, on the other, to heal and bring joy—and, if successful, to touch the hearts of the audience.

Masaki Iwana, born in 1945, began his Butoh-related performances after 1975, alongside the leading figures Tatsumi Hijikata and Tanaka Min. From 1979 to 1984, he was distinguished by his reduced performances, dancing almost motionlessly in total nudity. To date, he has achieved fame not only through his numerous performances but also as the director of three feature films. He founded "La Maison du Butoh Blanc" in Normandy, where he works and teaches his Butoh philosophy.

Moeno Wakamatsu seeks to immerse himself in the moment where the inner and outer merge. The entire spiritual existence has been inscribed in the body since the beginning of evolution. In this soul, inherent in the body, there is an absolute concept of both time and place. The beauty of the moment makes no distinction between human joy and despair, or between good and evil. Humans fill and empty the moment with their desires. Simultaneously, everything and nothing exist there.
Moeno Wakamatsu, born in 1975, studied dance with Merce Cunningham in New York, while simultaneously practicing the Feldenkrais Method and completing a degree in architecture. She developed her own Butoh dance style almost independently of any Butoh role models. Moeno Wakamatsu lives and works in New York and with Masaki Iwana in Normandy.
