Overview

A single branch covered in cotton, strapped to the wrist and carried on the shoulder, appears as a large wing. The tilted head bobs slow and silent. Only minute vibrations form the dance. The Village Voice dance critic Deborah Jowitt described this work as 'the Joan of Arc of Butoh'. It became the starting point for Yamda Setsuko's dance.
