When Day Became Night

Synopsis:
When Day Became Night integrates Butoh dance, song, text, and mask theater influenced by Indian and Balinese dance. When Day Became Night is a story of ordinary citizens in times of war. The piece unfolds through the eyes of a journalist who becomes possessed by the Bone Girl, a ghost whose entire family and village was killed in the War. The journalist's encounter with the Bone Girl forces her to bear witness to her complicity in the erasure of the Bone Girl's culture. She then becomes a vehicle for historical memory as the Bone Girl's story emerges through her. Ultimately the issue is one of silence, and to what lengths one must go to break the binding power that silence has over personal and cultural histories in times of war
