The theater piece Delusions of Anger written in 1966 by the charisma presence of America’s avant-garde music, is a masterpiece that is considered a collection of perch art in both the scale and content. The first performance in Los Angeles in 1969 was recorded by Colombia, and is known as the marvel of the enthusiasts in the country.

“Delusions of Anger” consists of a sequence and two banners, and the sequence titled “The Beginning of a Web”.

In the first event of the Nohaku “Sunmori” in Japan, and in the second title, the Ethiopian folk story “justice” is the base of the story, both of which were troublesome and finally reaches to resolution. Maybe it depicts the creation of Perch himself and the squeaks of the outside world. In addition, the “Hobo (Wanderen) has experienced composers herself, and is characterized by Perch work.
