This was a dance production created by Yo Nakamura and based on the novel by Kuniko Mukoda. The production featured an opera singer and an actor as well as dancers, exploring the relationship between language and the human body through diverse forms of expression. In its portrayal of the language, discomfort, and storm of emotions that men and women endured during an era when difference in gender roles was taken as a given, the production highlighted a perspective that contrasts with today’s society.
