Limited touring engagement
Prepare to loose yourself in the ethereal world of Theatre of Yungen's Mystical Abyss. In collaboration with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, this beautifully elegant performance piece will take you on a journey through the myths and legends of Japanese Jorman and our own Native American creation tales, infusing the two to create a union that shows the universality of the cycle of life, death and rebirth across traditions, cultures and generations.
Directed by Yuriko Doi and written by John O'Keefe, Mystical Abyss draws on both the ancient art of Japanese Noh and modern dance and uses theatre and animation to bring the story to life and create unforgettable, powerful imagery that is sure to stick with you long after you leave the auditorium.
For the last 30 years The Theatre of Yugen have been committed to bringing this ancient Japanese art-form both in their San Francisco home and internationally. Yugen is an aesthetic idea, intangible, profound and subtle, it is an ideal perceived with all five senses.
