“A gorgeous cavorting dance . . . it will come to you as far as you let it in.”
–New York Times
Master puppeteer Basil Twist unfolds an intimate, abstract, contemporary journey of images and emotions influenced by the rarefied tradition of Japanese dogugaeshi. This hour-long performance features original shamisen compositions created and performed live by master musician Yumiko Tanaka. The multidisciplinary production blends Twist’s signature puppetry with superb video projection, lighting, and sound design. Not suitable for children under 12. $41, CMA members $39.
Presented in collaboration with the Cleveland Play House’s FusionFest.
