A portrait of Suzushi Hanayagi, a dancer and choreographer who bridged the worlds of traditional Japanese dance and modern performance with a unique, bold style. Told from the perspective of her declining years, living with Alzheimer’s and great physical deterioration, Hanayagi comes to life in a reconnection with longtime collaborator Robert Wilson. He in turn makes tribute to his ‘teacher’ by re-creating her work on stage, extending her already profound influence. Watching the creation of this new dance piece, we experience a liberation from her physical state; the renewal of her work as it moves from her experience on to a new generation. |
