At this point I can't help you. It's just a lack of culture.

If you need "culture" to understand an act, there is something horribly
wrong.

Different tastes, I can understand. Can't argue with that.

But saying that not liking something is lacking in culture?
Pretentious and elitarist to say the least.

If a piece of "art" needs explanations or "culture" to be liked, and can't
be liked otherwise, then it is not art at all, it's something else [1].

Juggling prowess we don't care with this act. This is
the mariage beetween art performance that counts.

Please talk in first person.

When looking at an act, I don't care about prowess nor marriages or
weddings or any other kind of engagements [2], I care about the act.

I care about being interested.

You can get my interest with many means, you can entertain me, disgust me,
gross the hell out of me, amaze me with skill, seduce me, scare me, etc
etc.
The list is very long.
But that act, I'm sorry, couldn't get my interest, no matter what [3].

Possibily due to the fact that it was sunk in between boring acts [4],
possibily due to the fact that I don't like buto on the first place, or,
much simply, for a matter of tastes. There's always someone bound not to
like you, you know.

Coming from drama theater, and having learnt the hard way what a boring
act is.

[1] I'm not interested in discovering what it is, not here and now anyway.
[2] This is a pun. Please don't tell me I didn't understood what
"marriage" meant in that sentence.
[3] Like many that night.
[4] Boring for me anyway.


Art may be elitist, but unfortunately some of it does require culture to
be understood, since culture is knowledge of art, and affects your
perspective. IMHO.
