Director Simon McBurney and his British theater troupe Complicite, with the Setagaya Public Theatre, return to Lincoln Center Festival with a mesmerizing work of theater inspired by provocative writings\u2014the short story \u201cA Portrait of Shun-kin\u201d and the essay \u201cIn Praise of Shadows\u201d\u2014penned by one of the foremost writers in Japanese literature, Jun\u2019ichiro Tanizaki. The tale elegantly reconstructs a love story\u2014and its darker, sadomasochistic undercurrents\u2014between a blind musician and her servant lover in 19th-century Japan. Under McBurney\u2019s direction, the Japanese cast, puppetry, and dazzling lighting and projection produce an extraordinary theatrical performance that beautifully animates the deeper aspects of love and all of its intricacies. \u201cIt is a shadowy love story,\u201d says McBurney, \u201cthat places at its center the power of the imagination in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performed in Japanese with English supertitles.<\/p>\n
