Overview
The dance is based on Marquis de Sade's 'Nouvelle Tragique' (translated into Japanese by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko), which depicts a tragedy of incest. The performance had act, five scenes, and was first performed as 'Butoh Works I'. Later, in March, Marquis de Sade's '120 Days of Sodom' (translated into Japanese by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko) was performed as 'Butoh Works II', and then in May 'Dead Beauty: For Edgar Allan Poe' was performed as 'Butoh Works III'. Kasai Akira touches on Sade's innocence in his book 'Twilight of the Gods', published in March 1979.
