This documentary film captures an art performance by dancer and actor Mirai Moriyama, held at Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto on March 11, 2021. Drawing on dialogues with various philosophers and Butoh dancers, the work reflects on life through the lens of death in the Anthropocene era—a time defined by environmental destruction.
