Spoleto Festival USA audiences will fondly remember director and puppeteer Basil Twist’s delightful production of La bella dormente nel bosco. In the elegant and absorbing Dogugaeshi, Twist and his band of puppeteers ingeniously manipulate a series of painted screens to create a tiny yet marvelously expansive universe. With original contemporary music composed and performed by shamisen virtuoso Yumiko Tanaka, Dogugaeshi invites us to explore an ancient and nearly lost Japanese art form, observed and rendered in Twist’s inimitable style.
