When your curiosity gets the better of you and suddenly breaks your promise, the line may be crossed. The one who turned himself into a person to return a favour and the one who returned the favour. Two different worlds, separated by a thin door, become one, but when you touch the taboo of knowing who you are, that balance is lost. This broken world cannot be restored, and the crane returns to the animal.
This creation is based on the traditional Japanese tale of Tsuru no ongaeshi, a myth from the Japanese Shinto culture, a fantastic tragedy.
