Overview
A 1976 dance film made in memory of sculptor Wim de Haan (1913-1967), who had a great interest in Eastern spirituality.
The story begins at the Magere Brug [Skinny Bridge] in Amsterdam. Ishii Mitsutaka walks with what appears to be a wooden cross while his friends follow behind. Next there is dance in performed in a prison-like room, reminding us of de Haan's time as a Japanese prisoner of war, and Ishii performs the dance of a young girl in de Haan's studio. The piece ends with Ishii, dressed in a kimono, playing the role of a hanged man.
