Darkness Odyssey Part 3: Non-Opera, Becoming

Four dancers on a black stage all facing different directions on different levels Stephanie Berger

Darkness Odyssey Part 3, the final installment of Yamazaki’s Darkness Odyssey series, is a non-operatic celebration of the act of “becoming otherself.” Inspired by writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and butoh pioneer Tatsumi Hijikata’s notion of “dance of darkness,” the series explores the idea of the body as a black hole. The stage set is designed by award-winning architect firm SO-IL.
