Set in an ambiguous world of gothic fantasy, this adaptation of Alice in Wonderland stars the “emo-butoh” performance troupe Rose de Reficul et Guiggles. Terashima teases out the psychological unsettlement of Lewis Carroll’s original story, drawing on the aesthetics of early cinema and the history of underground performance in Japan.
