Acclaimed for converting great authors’ novels into disarmingly charming-yet-satirical performances told almost entirely through movement, Tokyo-based CHAiroiPLIN (a pun on Charlie Chaplin’s name) takes on Yukio Mishima’s little-known short story for its North American debut. In The Seven Bridges, following a fanciful superstition that crossing seven bridges without conversing with anyone on a full moon night will make their wishes come true, four women set out on a journey under the watchful gaze of the Moon. Obliterating the line between dance and theatre, CHAiroiPLIN, founded and led by young choreographer Takuro Suzuki, infuses eye-popping color, catchy music, arresting movement and slapstick humor into Mishima’s compact reflection on ritual and desire. Which woman will cross the seventh bridge–and, for what kind of wish?
Show Notes: Performed in Japanese with English supertitles.
