A four-act portrait of the Japanese kabuki star Tamasaburō Bandō V, considered to be the greatest onnagata of all time – a male actor interpreting female roles. Daniel Schmid investigates identities, obsessions and models through a moving meditation on the fluidity of beauty. A visual poem that portrays the enthralling game of art.
