Overview

In March 1998, butoh dancer Ippei Yamada (aka Bishop Yamada) stayed in Kyiv and choreographed "Dark Wings" for the National Shevchenko Theater Ballet Group, which was performed at the National Opera of Ukraine. It was the first time these ballet dancers, including Anna Kouschneryova, a national star in Ukraine at the time, had ever encountered butoh. This work is a remake of "Dark Wings", performed in Tokyo with mostly the same cast under the new title "Step into the Night, Odette".
