Overview

The title of this performance is derived from song lyrics; "what do the winds carry, is it too heavy a load for my shoulders?". The performance featured solos by Motofuji Akiko and her pupil Yanagawa Keiko. Yanagawa learned ballet from a young age before joining Asbestos-kan where she studied butoh under Motofuji. She had previously performed in Motofuji's 'Letter to Abakanowicz', as well as some of her own solo works, but this was the first time she and Motofuji performed together.
