00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.260 align:middle line:84%
For the next, you have to
imagine Japanese Noh theater.

00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:06.030 align:middle line:90%
This is called Tawai Nakimo.

00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:08.938 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.938 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:84%
The Noh theater mainly
happens when the character

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.890 align:middle line:90%
has a vision of the past.

00:00:12.890 --> 00:00:15.120 align:middle line:84%
Tawai Nakimo at the beginning
is a very old woman,

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.640 align:middle line:90%
then she becomes very young.

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.980 align:middle line:84%
I am Tawai Nakimo, famed beauty,
courtesan of the emperor Wai.

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.800 align:middle line:84%
Dreamily transported for
a moment to the past.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:26.850 align:middle line:90%
She dances.

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:30.450 align:middle line:84%
How we dance to the slosh
of silk and bracelets.

00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:32.860 align:middle line:90%
She returns to the present.

00:00:32.860 --> 00:00:37.200 align:middle line:84%
Now my age is 97 and I have
come to this bridge land

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.090 align:middle line:90%
to seek retreat.

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:42.870 align:middle line:84%
How strange that around
me all, all is bridges.

00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:44.310 align:middle line:90%
Bridge over river.

00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:45.990 align:middle line:90%
Bridge over stream.

00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:47.850 align:middle line:90%
Bridge over roadway.

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.640 align:middle line:84%
Here even, bridge
over little girl.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.450 align:middle line:84%
Everything, it seem,
here have its own bridge.

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:57.330 align:middle line:84%
And now she speaks in a
sort of visionary ecstasy.

00:00:57.330 --> 00:00:59.700 align:middle line:90%
What is the bridge over me?

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:04.130 align:middle line:84%
Bridge that passes above
the head of Tawai Nakimo.
