Moon of Day, Night and Morning

Overview

A girl, dead while living, dances wildly among countless parasols scattered around her... The parasols become bright red spider lilies, a toy windmill rattling in the wind... Seen as the 11-headed Avalokiteshvara, the girl lies at the bottom of a lake as the night moon rises in the void. The girl and a young man's journey towards chaos unfolds around the moon. The abundant and dynamic world of Orita Katsuko aims to discover a fundamental encounter between Form and Chaos.

-From the ORITA KATSUKO DANCE RECITAL
-The brains behind Orita's work during the 1980s were:
Script - Konno Yuichi
Artwork - Maeda Tetsuhiko
