Recording date: 1993

Overview

Footage documenting Byakko-sha’s final overseas tour. Although the company had performed in many parts of the world, this marked their first tour of Central and South America, where they staged "The Skylark and the Lying Buddha" in Mexico and Brazil.
The film focuses mainly on the everyday life of the tour, including scenes of the troupe making props. It also captures a visit to Las Pozas, the surrealist garden in Xilitla, Mexico, as well as moments at the company’s rehearsal space in Kyoto after their return to Japan. The following year, in 1994, Byakko-sha disbanded.
