Excerpts from press review
"Waguri's butoh goes beyond words""As a butoh dancer, Waguri encounters himself through butoh"
<The Japan Times, 1996 March, Japan>
"His face is covered with white powder, accentuating their unearthy appearance, evoking images of fear, desperation, eroticism and ecstasy."
<The Jakarta Post, 1998 September, Indonesia>
"While watching the artist in the stage, audience could imagine anything---from earthly images to the Space. Some recognized there the history of the humankind, the others symbols and elements of the Earth: for one moment he becomes a stone, after a while a tree, an insect, fire..."
<Klaipeda Times, 1999 June, Lithuania>
"Avant-garde art does not mean to lose one's own nationality. It has tight relationship with particular cultural background. That is what Waguri's Butoh suggests, and why the presnter put his performance program on stage."
<The Central Daily Times, 1999 June, Korea>
