Location:  The Alcove

The Legend of the Wicked Girl is a stage performance that combines the content of Pixy's long-term photography project Experimental Relationship and the latest concept work "Evil Girl". This performance lecture draws on the structure of Japanese noh drama, combining scripts, music and performances. There are three parts in this program. The first part tells the story of the Japanese witch who became a queen in the history. The second part tells the story of Pixy in a third-person point of view. The third part tells the story of the queen of apocalypse on a small island set in the future time. Live music performances are interspersed during each section.
