October 23-November 2
Experimental Theater Club, La MaMa in the East Village will present the Japanese play, revived after over 30 years since its debut in this same theater. In 1976, noted poetess Taeko Tomioka and Japan’s leading stage designer, Setsu Asakura, collaborated on a play called “Ningyo-Shimai,” (The Doll Sisters) using both puppets and actors, combining ancient styles. The traditional conventions of the play are drawn from the bunraku and even earlier forms of doll-drama. Cast includes Jun Tanaka, Kazuko Yoshiyuki and Mieko Yuki.
