……a la recherche du corps perdu…..

…or passing through the gate of nothingness. The philosophy and practice of Japanese Butoh dance is a search for the lost body, a search for the poetic, truthful and archaic body. A body that has left social conditions behind and has learned to distance itself from its ego. A body in search of nothingness. Nothingness as the fundamental state from which everything emerges, a state that contains everything, that is not yet formed or defined, a state that makes it possible to be reborn in all forms and creatures. The process of becoming takes place by approaching this primordial state of emptiness. Dancers become wind, water, mist, plants, animals, stones, scents…. .

We work mainly in nature. She is our master teacher of transformation and the eternal cycle of dying, becoming and passing away. She reminds us what it means to be in the now.

Salmina is a rustico hamlet in the Centovalli in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The place is located behind Intragna below Corcapolo and above the wild mountain stream Melezza and is surrounded by a densely wooded natural landscape from which jagged rocks rise up. It gives us everything we need to connect with the elements and entities of nature and to expand our perception towards a more sensitive and intuitive understanding of ourselves.

The workshop is aimed at people who are interested in Japanese Butoh dance and feel the desire to delve deeper into the nature of things.

Some impressions from our journey to the sea along the rhine . it took us almost 40 days to get from Basel to Hoek van Holland by foot., i believe that every step we did has contributed to the gradual purification of the seas within and beyond us. I feel that every step was a small revolution for a better world.
