Wings of Castle: Beyond Flamand’s House

Overview

Kozensha's second butoh performance.

Text from the flyer, written by sculptor Yoshie Shōzō:
[Waguri Yukio] established Kozensha in 1979, after studying with Hijikata Tatsumi, opening with 'Wings of Castle'. He then fell silent for seven years, going into Edo-Komon artisanal work. Seven years later we have todays incident. The opportunity for this began to emerge in 1985, while he was assisting with the 'Tohoku Kabuki Project' at Studio 200. When his passion for butoh reemerged after the death of Hijikata, he must have been filled with a sense regret.
