Business Overview
Using Franz Kafka's novel "Transfiguration" as a motif, it is performed as a non-verbal work with a strong physicality characteristic of Bushman. The protagonist is isolated from society and feels intensely lonely, and the story overlays modern people during the COVID-19 pandemic, showing people who have no choice but to seek communication even in a desperate situation. By avoiding language and using the bodies of 13 male dancers, he expressed the novel's impartiality, namely, the origin of human life.
