Abstract

This article aims to share reflections on the concept of animated forms from the puppet theater called bunraku in contrast to the object, an appropriate term of the surrealist movement and assimilated by the writer Tatsuhiko Shibusawa and developments in the Butoh dance of Tatsumi Hijikata. Here, the idea of animacy is discussed, starting from the tangent principle to biologically active beings, in particular, puppets and immanent manifestations of nature such as diseases and youkais, in order to broaden the perception of bodies and movement.
