Kitsune--Nightfire performance in Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor, October 12, 2003

Based on the Fox Woman legends of Japan. The fox-woman is a wild creature who takes on the form of a woman and becomes the lover of a human man. In many of the stories, she brings haunted sorrow, and in others, good fortune. She reflects our fear and fascination with what lives in the unexplored territory of our souls. A fox spirit is often the initiator for human shapeshifters who are learning to transform themselves into animals.
