The first street performer I wanted to see on April 24 was the Sasara Housara butoh dancers. First we see this sign warning us that the gold paint will not come off if it rubs on us.

The Sasara Hosara butoh dancers were almost nude and painted in gold. I had to see this, and came away very impressed.

At the 36th Noge Daidogei street performance festival in Yokohama, the Sasara Housara semi-nude butoh dance troupe, body-painted in gold, gave a spellbinding performance.

They gradually headed up the road toward their street performance area. ささらほうさら 金粉ショー

The music, their movements, and gold appearance really made it interesting.

There were two guys and three girls dancing.

Sometimes they dived into the crowd, which was hilarious. But no one dared to touch the gold bodies.

|
But it was obvious that the gold paint easily rubbed off, when they sat on the ground, etc.

They gave three performances on each day of the Noge Daidogei festival. Imagine being painted in gold for the better part of the day.
|
|
After each performance, they must have some touch-up painting where it rubbed off.

It sure reminds you of the James Bond movie, "Goldfinger" where a girl was turned into gold.

Well, it was a very photogenic performance. Someday, I'd like to see foreigners dance with them.

I gladly gave them a coin, even though they deserve a lot more. Hopefully there were people who gave bills.
