ONNYORO SEISUIKI
“Onnyoro Seisuiki” is a Japanese folktale reworking by playwright Junji Kinoshita of the Beijing Opera, Chu San Hai. Isshiza has successfully taken on the challenge of blending completely different genres for this production, with elements of Beijing Opera joining Japanese puppetry, actors, women’s gidayu storytelling, shamisen and narimono (percussion-based accompaniment/sound effects) in a work that has become a part of the troupe’s repertoire.
