Emil Amok: A Sudden Eraption
Going amok is about being politically incorrect. It’s about speaking uncomfortable truths. The opposite—being politically correct—is generally seen as safe, but boring. Unless, of course, you’re a politician like Joseph Estrada, president of the Philippines.
For him, being politically correct every now and then might actually be refreshing. Especially when touring America. Let’s just say on his recent trip to Washington, Mr. Estrada committed a real boner. And now there are calls for him to apologize for a racial slur.
That’s right, racial slur.

Strange things happen in San Francisco. And this week was no exception as butoh dancers nationwide gathered for an annual festival of this mysterious art form, which sprang from the collective despair experienced during post-World War II Japan. In traditional butoh, performers adopt a spare style and technique. Heads are shaved. Bodies are naked and powdered white, while movements drag along, reflecting the conscious, the subconscious, dreams and nightmares, and perhaps even mere existence. One dance critic said of butoh: “In this grotesque ugliness and corruption…there can be found an irreducible beauty and sweetness…” Considering its origins, this dance celebrates the humanity that quietly lurks, bringing a sense of calm amidst chaos.
