Hot Key

Overview

This piece is based on the Ten Bulls, a series of 10 paintings of depicting the relationship between cows and herdsmen - a metaphor for Zen practice according to a Zen Koan from the Northern Song dynasty in China. On stage are four hoofless cows created by Uno Man. What has he gained after his hopeless struggle? Only then does he reach absolute nothingness. This masterpiece, which tackles the difficult text of Zen Buddhism head-on, has been performed in Japan, and received great acclaim in the North, Central and South American continents, as well as France.

- Participated in the TOKYO DANCE SCENERY
