Overview
Hen Bai is an ritual performed in Onmyōdō [commonly known in the English as Ying Yang] for leaving, or calming down. It later entered Shintoism and Esoteric Buddhism, and even the world of Yūsoku Kojitsu. This is where Uno Man got his inspiration. It begins with a body supported by a rope, which appears to be a symbol for anti-gravity, followed by a scene in which two men have a tube connecting their mouths to their buttocks. In the second half we see a ritual of throwing salt by a performer in a white costume. This work further develops the Onmyō world from the final dance of his previous work 'Hot Key'. Performed only once at the MAMU Festival.
