The Story of Sun and Moon (rehearsal)

Overview

The Story of Sun and Moon' is a tale of light and shadow. It is also a story of a man's 'torn soul' as he searches through a labyrinth of light and shadow. The 'shadows', which at times turn into demi-gods and at times into kannon [goddess of Mercy], invite him to open several doors. Another self walks from the bottom of the water mirror. Rituals of death and rebirth in a labyrinth of expansion and contraction. A dream that regresses. The body of the dream is caught up in a spiral vortex...
