YOKAI

YOKAI — A Butoh Journey Through Japanese Ghost Legends
A performance in 3 acts by Domiziano Cristopharo and Leo Bulgari
Presented by MATERIA PRIMA

Step into the shadow realm of Japanese folklore with YOKAI, a haunting Butoh performance that fuses raw physicality, ritual, and myth.

In this three-act journey, Domiziano Cristopharo and Leo Bulgari embody with their naked, expressive bodies the twisted essence of three of Japan’s most iconic and unsettling ghost stories — each act a visceral transformation of flesh into spirit, desire into terror, and silence into scream.

More than a dance, YOKAI is an exorcism — of memory, of fear, of the self.

Filmed in high definition and captured in its full ritualistic intensity, this exclusive video release offers a rare chance to experience the power of Butoh in its purest, most daring form.

For lovers of physical theatre, avant-garde horror, and Japanese supernatural lore.

Watch it. Feel it. Be haunted.
