"Dreams in the Arms of the Binding Lady"---short excerpt video CLICK HERE TO WATCH
"Dreams
in the Arms of the Binding Lady" is a physical story telling based on
Japanese legend of a Jyorogumo (Binding Lady). Fusion of Japanese physical
theatre, unconventional
puppetry/mask, and chanting, the
show, according to a critic "is a triumphant
display of some serious artistry"(DC Theatre Scene). It was commissioned by the Embassy of the United States
in Peru
and premiered in Danza Nueva, Peru and won the Medal of Honor for the Cultural Excellence from the City of Piura,
Peru in July 2012. Most recently, we performed
this piece at the Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts in December 2012.
"Dreams in the Arms of the Binding Lady is a triumphant display of some serious artistry.
From the dreams’ concepts to each performers’ facial expressions, the show is well-polished on every level. DC
is lucky to have such talent on display. Shouldn’t miss this imaginative tour-de-force."---DC Theatre Scene
