"Mr. Yamazaki creates a conversation with bodies, in which unspoken thoughts take on a language of their own." — The New York Times

Philosophy, dance, and folklore merge in Bessie Award-winning choreographer Kota Yamazaki’s latest work inspired by French writers Gilles Deleuze and Felix 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.

Darkness Odyssey Part 2: I or Hallucination was developed, in part, during a BAC Artist Residency.
