Is safety worth giving up your liberty? How much does it cost you to maintain "conveniences"? As you approach a military checkpoint, you must choose what you will put at risk. Your decision will determine your own outcome AND that of your fellow inmates... Stories of confinement, love, trust, loyalty, and honour unfold through legends and heroes from 850 years ago. Theatre of Yugen's first production with a new artistic direction, The Genji State is a cross-disciplinary collaboration not to be missed.
Theatre of Yugen has gained international recognition for both celebrating tradition and invoking experimentation. Founded in 1978, they have invested for over three decades in artistic exchange aimed at erasing perceived divisions between people.
With a foundation in Japanese Noh drama and Kyogen satire, the company pursues a Japanese artistic notion called yugen, a state of inner beauty and vibrancy perceived with all the senses. Theatre of Yugen is the only theatre company in the U.S. that consistently provides experiences in Noh-Kyogen theatre and for 23 years has managed NOHspace, an intimate 68-seat performance venue in San Francisco's Mission district.
