The myth speaks of an ancient human form, where people were round, with four arms and four legs, symbolizing a precondition of unity. After their separation from the gods, they were left in a state of grief and suffering, reflecting the current human condition.
Through the avant-garde lens of Butoh, this performance dives into the primal emotions of loss, the search for completeness, and the anguish of separation. It also imagines a transformative vision of a post-human condition, inviting the audience to question what might lie beyond our current state. Where is this post-human state, and what does it look like?
