Visiting Bali for his research into traditional dance, Zan Yamashita chooses to be a contemporary dancer = “an evil spirit that came to violate the tradition” there, instead of being treated as a tourist, and that enables him to find his place in the logic of the community. “According to a taxi driver, good spirits and evil spirits are worshipped equally in Bali to maintain the balance of the world. That was a breakthrough for me.” A performance about the process through dialogue between the teacher and pupil.
