The Naked Summer Synopsis
The Naked Summer is a film that documents young artists' effort and growth while training and preparing for a performance of Butou that is praised internationally as a unique art form. Butou was born about 40 years ago as a form of modern dance that pursues the untraditional movement of the body and defies the convention of the human body. As a result, it is known for the dancer's strange facial expressions, naked body covered in white powder, and strong visuals. The film contains the summer training process of the dance group Dairakudakan led by a veteran artist of Butou, Akaji Maro
The Naked Summer (2008) is a documentary film directed by Kenji Okabe, released on January 19, 2008 with a runtime of 1h 38m. It stars Akaji Maro.
