Kwaidan
by Lafcadio Hearn
Adapted by Richard Henrich and Izumi Ashizawa
Directed by Izumi Ashizawa
May 29 – June 22, 2014
Inspired by Lafcadio Hearn’s book “Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things,” first published in 1904, visual theater director Izumi Ashizawa brings to life a series of Japanese ghost stories. In Japanese, Kwaidan means “weird tales,” but what Hearn has done goes beyond the supernatural. Over several years, this Western author who adopted Japan as his homeland, transformed kwaidan into a unique collection, where ghostly sketches of an unreal world meet a sense of spiritual reality.
