A dance inspired by the kusozu (graphic depictions of the nine stages of a decaying corpse).  Often portrayed as a female body in Buddhist art, the kusozu presents a challenging view of fleeting existences for contemplation.  In nine layers of inner and outer transformation, the work finds it own physical metamorphosis of flesh and bone, water and calcium, air and dust.  A cat has nine lives, then dust.  The destination of dust is a new cat.

The performance is part of a series begun in 2013 in collaboration with composer and musician Kazuhisa Uchihashi to investigate the relationship between body and sound and their transformations in performance.
