Higaki no Onna
Business Overview
Performing "Higaki Onna Higaki-no-Onna" and holding workshops.
[Performance]
Using Zeami's noh song "Higaki" as a motif, it expresses "aging" and "loneliness" from a gender perspective. Two elderly women living in the city live under the direction of a young male "caregiver." Get up, wash your face, do exercises and repeat your daily activities. Their hearts are shaken by the gorgeous memories of the old days that come and go from time to time. Through their bodies, the film echoes questions such as loneliness, coexistence, and femininity that are exposed in modern society.
