Recording date
October 1987

Overview

Premiered at the Institut français du Japon - Tokyo. Wrapped in a black costume, Yamada Setsuko transforms her introspective world into movement. Three performers repeat gentle movements like children in a kagura performance. Korean critic Kim Tae-won commented: "I will never forget the shock I felt when I saw Yamada Setsuko for the first time. Her transparent will and precision of technique are the ideals of expressive solo dance". This work, which consciously abstracts reality, clarifies Yamada's unique dance movement and method.

- Participated in the Chang Mu Chum Festival
- Yamada Setsuko Butoh Performance
