Overview
Inspired by the poem 'Torikubi' [The Bird's Head] by Yamanaka Chieko, this work contains ancient ritualistic elements. Yamada performs wearing a large headdress and adopting a limp, clearly searching for a new perspective on the body. Usually known for performing solo, in this piece she is joined by Sato Miwako and Sugiyama Keiko. Performed in a space composed of earth, water and paper, this work appears to cross the boundaries between dance, gesticulation and actions.
