Overview

Popular contemporary dancer Itoh Kim holds a secret party in this dream-like performance. An explosively energetic 49 minutes, this piece is full of highlights, with humorous and showy underground imagery that is typically Itoh. An absurd performance by the 11 frenzied Tokyo Reiwa Underground Dancers, co-starring Kim Itoh and Kazutoki Umezu.
