’The Well Cradle: The site were something great was created’ communicates the issue of an embodied symbiosis of binary models  throughout the Noh story ‘Izutsu’ and the Asian Philosophy of I-Ching and Kung Fu. Female and Male, Moon and Water, Wind and Ground, Past and Present, are operating as found objects of the humans satisfying the eternal existence. The fantasy and the real does not exist as parallel universes, but habits in a figurative species. Eternal love -as a metaphor of existence between those mirrored layers - has the potential to deconstruct the identity of binary modes and combine them in one figure. Male and Female traits, are reconsidered in order to re-identify spiritual and gender identities. Traditional Kung Fu shadow-fighting is a means for strife for consciousness as continuous every life process and the existential need for growth and transformation.
