Overview
Tokyo DasSHOKU Girl touches on the shadowy life of Japan which many never encounter. DasSHOKU (to bleach) strips off the colour of the superficial to reveal the reality behind the happy face of consumerism, bleaching away the commonly held views of Japanese women as kawai, or cute, polite and submissive. In Tokyo DasSHOKU Girl Yumi pays homage to the roots of Butoh as an anarchic dangerous and at the same time beautiful dance form.

- Performed on 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th and 16th of October, 1999 at the Melbourne Fringe Festival
