The Love of Terror

Overview

Premiered in Tokyo in 2007. This work features a life-size driftwood puppet as the dancer's alter ego, exploring themes of self, other, and human existence from multiple perspectives. Over the course of the performance the puppet, devoid of any will of its own, transforms into a transcendent being, surpassing the limits of human form. The piece was also performed in Mexico City in collaboration with a local puppet artist, where it attracted significant attention.
