IzumonookunI

artists
Aretha Aoki & Ryan MacDonald
 

IzumonookunI is a dance/punk/goth-glam/synthwave show weaving together the lost (her)story of kabuki and its real and imagined influences and offshoots. This revisionist, multidisciplinary work aims to reimagine the founder of the Japanese dance-drama form, a form which currently contains little trace of its cis-female centric origins. Project support will assist with the ongoing elaboration of the project in working with musicians (taiko), building on the work as a whole, and reaching outside of the theater/dance setting to stage it.
