Shuron (A Religious Dispute)
A Classic Kyogen performed in English In a new translation by Yuriko Doi with Theatre of Yugen

Two traveling priests agree to travel together as they return home from their individual religious retreats. Flush with pride for their own sect's teaching, each attempts to show the enlightened path to the other. When a religious debate turns into a duel to convert the other, the prayers fly fast and furious, but who will be saved?

Llanto
A Fusion Production created utilizing the theatrical sensibilities of Noh directed by Lluis Valls

The passion of flamenco filtered through the powerful restraint of Noh in this adaptation of Lorca's Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias. Life is short, death is forever; Lorca's famous ode to a fallen matador who lived life to it's fullest and never flinched when the horns came near.
