Words and music by Michael John LaChiusa.
Based on short stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, as translated by Takashi Kojima
Directed by Anne Healy
Movement/Choreography by Donald C. Shorter, Jr.
Michael John LaChiusa’s three-part musical explores the nature of truth and lies, as well as lust, greed, murder, and redemption through the stories of a 1950s murder noir, a priest’s crisis of faith, and the final tryst of two lovers. A lush musical score, combining jazz, pop, classical, and Asian influences, drives the storytelling in this virtuosic piece named by New York magazine as one of the Best Musicals of 2005. “Seductively stylish, sharp thinking person’s musical…as smart and entertaining as it is artistic and serious.”
Contains adult language and subject matter including violence, sexual assault and murder.
