HOPP GARDEN SHOW - Site-specific improvisation | 8. BODY.RADICAL International Performing Arts Biennial

The bi-annual festival, starting in 2009 as Butoh Festival has become one of the region’s most important event series presenting artists and professionals mostly who are the most prominent representatives of the non-verbal arts of contemporary Asia.
