This documentary performance piece critically examines the vanishing geisha culture from a contemporary perspective while maintaining deep respect for tradition. The work is based on extensive training and research conducted in actual banquet rooms and ozashiki settings to gain an authentic understanding of geisha culture. Following its premiere in Tokyo in 2022, the piece was recreated and presented as a new work at the international Festival d’Automne in Paris. Given the prevalence of stereotypes surrounding geisha culture, both in Japan and abroad, this production seeks to challenge these preconceptions and offer a deeper cultural context for European audiences. The performance received significant acclaim. The cast featured main performers Kyoko Takenaka and Shingo Ota, with live music by renowned musician Kazuhisa Uchihashi. For the presentations, the production welcomed Hidemi, the last geisha of Kinosaki, as a special guest. A post-performance with her was held as a part of the related programs. And additional events, including film screenings, a photography exhibition and Artist-Audience exchange events were organized to further deepen the audience’s understanding of geisha culture.
