Overview
The second work based on Tanigawa Atsushi's "The Topography of the Fantasy", following the first in 1998. Asking the question "Who Am I?", the piece is a journey of self-discovery in pursuit of another self. Following the back of a shadowy man, we wander through various worlds. In addition to Waguri and Katata (Shinonome Butoh), performers include young people in their twenties and the pantomime group SOUKI, who are seen here performing butoh for the first time. Using butoh-fu [butoh notation], which formed the basis of Waguri's work, the performance also addresses "transformation", one of the foundational concepts of Hijikata's butoh.
