An artist known for her “narrative” with lecture performances, Tomoko Sato will create a new narrative of Toyooka. She will conduct an extensive research on subjects such as history and legend of Toyooka and relationships between humans and animals in cooperation with cultural anthropologists.
The legend of a stork healing its wounds in Kinosaki onsen, a folk tale “The Grateful Crane”, an opinion on a traditionally considered fortunate combination “A crane and pine trees” to question if it really was a stork, and “Antigone” as scientific name of a genus of large birds in the crane family… Such topics will be studied in the process of developing a new lecture performance.
