Tek > Know < Butoh (1999)

Tek Know Butoh is an experimental film that uses Butoh dance, computer animation and a Techno music sound track to construct a dance narrative. It traces the journey of a Gaijin 'Thee Alien' who lands in the modern world on a search for other life. The Gaijin finds the landscape harsh and heartless with occasional moments of beauty. His search leaves him emotionally drained and he descends into despair. At his lowest ebb, he hears the earth cry out. It is dying and no one is listening. In a burst of energy he calls out a message of hope, that becomes a mantra. Some heed the call and together they move out into the world - Questioning - Are you into it or are you out of it?
