Summary
Ballet based on the historical tale of the Ryōmen-Sukuna (literally "Two-headed Sukuna"), rulers of the village of Hida. Exiled by the Imperial Court as rebels, the twins take refuge in a cave where they become fierce and violent. Offered to them as a sacrificial victim, The Chosen Maiden strangles them and in turn is killed by her lover. For synopsis and descriptive notes, see: *MGZR Sasamoto, Kimie. [Clippings]
