Overview
"Before the Dawn", a dance of metamorphosis, where darkness melts into brightness.
Through her own transformation, Yoshioka Yumiko illuminates secrets in our bodies.
Creatures hidden in our forgotten memories joyfully start to revive.
Something grotesque yet strangely beautiful grabs our attention.
We can't help but be captivated by this strange force, a source of darkness and light.
