Foot washing is an ancient gesture of hospitality.
The path through the sole to the soul is an ancient
healing method.
Touch is the oldest form of communication.
As a tactile performance, revived in an artistic ritual,
these ritual foot washings devote special attention to our
feet in a respectful setting.
For the duration of this encounter, a very personal
relationship develops between the artist and a member of
the audience.
In this process, reactions are set in motion that make it
possible to let go of everyday life and worries.
Images rise in the mind's eye, feelings of security and
relaxation spread.
To create such a private atmosphere in a public space is
the core of the artistic process.
In this act of transformation, the two are removed from
their real surroundings and take even the watching public
with them into a world of well-being.
Gifts of LOVE are something very lasting...

During many years of my work as a butoh dancer on
many stages, I usually experienced the audience in a
distanced form. Being applauded alone was no longer
enough for me in the long run.
