Pretext to start a visionary journey through fragments of evolving stories, TENGUSONG uses the Tengu figure - a metamorphic creature belonging to Japanese popular iconography - to create a visual song about otherness. Throughout the narration - from the introduction, through the interlude, up to the final chapters - we witness a continuous yet at times tragicomic identity derailment. It takes some time, some confidence, before Tengusong can access your head,before it can resonance with our personal Tengu, always trapped between the ganglion cells of rationality.
