A stunning performance featuring Butoh dance, music and intense visual imagery, written and performed by Dawn Akemi Saito A haunting and beautiful tale of a young woman on a fantastical journey into memory and imagination in an attempt to come to terms with the dying and death of her father. Saito transforms herself into her charismatic father, her long suffering mother, her French husband, even a wild horse fracturing in frustration and despair, all in an effort to understand her father's spirit and find her place in a world without him. An NPN Creation Fund Project, co-commissioned with Dance Theater Workshop, NYC.
