Butoh is a Japanese dance form that arose out of the bombings of Nagasake and Hiroshima during WWII. It involves body contortions, grotesque costuming and gnarled movements.

I find it to be kind of disturbing but very interesting. I can really see how it pertains to the nuclear bomb victims. It is a tribute as much as an art form.
