A Kabuki Winterreise: 'Spring Snow'

This project is a meditation on sound and silence, solitude and communion, love and loss, explored through the intertwined narratives of Yasuna, one of the great kabuki plays dating back to 1818, and Schubert’s iconic Winterreise, conceived a decade later in 1827. Grief splinters the psyches of both Schubert’s Wanderer and Yasuna, compelling a journey into the darkness and depths of Self. This performance begins where these two individual paths converge and inspire. Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theatre, and Yasuna features dream-like dance journey scenes that resonate with the romantic sensibility of Schubert’s work.
