Hitsuzendo dissects the three evils of Buddhism—ignorance, attachment, and craving—and how they afflict the human condition. Inspired by Zen Buddhism and the mindsets of today’s rappers, Hitsuzendo treats dance as a physicalized form of meditation. The roots of our suffering translate to athletic phrasework and comedic tidbits of pop culture.
