In Japanese Oral Tradition, there are many tales of gods and demons and
their interaction with humanity. Through the mystical artistry of puppetry,
these gods and demons come alive to unveil sagas about beauty, love,
youth, and man’s values. Our performance incorporates elements of
traditional styles of Japanese Theatre such as, Bunraku, Noh, and Kabuki,
with Modern techniques of projection.
Through a journey to distant lands of an ancient time, we take you on a path
of enlightenment. The road is windy and sometimes threatened with mystical
beasts and unfortunate circumstances. If you are courageous, we'll whisk
you away to follow our dancing puppetry and live actors as they battle life’s
challenges.
The Story of Urashima Taro: A Magical Sea Turtle rewards a Fisherman.
Mystical surprises lurk in the waters and in the capture of youth. Will you
believe your eyes and ears?
The Samurai and His Two Wives: A Samurai, displeased with his feeble lot,
searches for happiness in wealth and success. Our misguided hero is
dismayed with what he discovers and longs for that which is lost.
The Frog and The Snake: A Simply Irresistible Snake, a Helpless Frog, and
a Man, who has several daughters, create an interesting predicament. Good
deeds, clever tricks, and loyalty create a powerful tale of love and woe.
Join us in this magical revue of Japanese Myths retold through the art of
puppetry, live action, and music.
