Business Overview
This dance piece is based on the story of Narcisse, a beautiful young man from Greek mythology. In reconstructing the story as a dance piece, I focused on the psychological portrayal of Narcisse and the people he works with, addressing themes that are still relevant today, such as the relationship between beauty and love, rejection and despair. Guided by cellist Itsuki Sasanuma's powerful and fragile performance, the three dancers depict the complicated feelings of human beings and the tragedies of their innocence.
