Philosophy, dance, and folklore merge in the Bessie Award-winning choreographer Kota Yamazaki's latest work, which is inspired by French writers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Butoh pioneer Tatsumi Hijikata's notion of a "dance of darkness," and Japan's Goze music tradition. Darkness Odyssey Part 2: I or Hallucination explores the fragile body, the vaporizing body, and the body as an absorbing force. This performance is supported by the Performing Arts JAPAN program.
