Business Overview
"Zanko" is a solo male dance and "Shokko" is a group female dance. Although the two works are contrasting, they share a common theme of "light and darkness." "Afterglow" focuses on light sinking into darkness and the death of living things, while "Akebono" focuses on light emerging from darkness and the birth of life. This dance evokes the image of a circle of death and rebirth, and reveals "awai," the boundary between the two.
