IzumonookunI (in development)
by Aretha Aoki and Ryan MacDonald
April 15, 2023 at 7:30 pm - Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall
"IzumonookunI” is a performance inspired by Izumo no Okuni, founder of the Japanese dance-drama form, Kabuki—a form that contains little to no trace of its female centric, grassroots origins. Choreographer Aretha Aoki and multimedia artist Ryan MacDonald are reimagining and resurrecting Okuni as a punk, sci-fi figure in a contemporary landscape of digital design and live electronic music, touching on the tensions between erasure and hyper-visibility.
Presented by the Department of Theater and Dance and the Asian Students Association.
