About the event
Explore this work as children of a diaspora, looking at how they connect to their heritage. Aesthetics informed by their connection to our cultural heritage form the cornerstone of the production, including the use of traditional Japanese theatrical forms such as noh, kyogen, and kabuki, but also ballet, modern dance, and contemporary visual art.
Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman (authors of Assassins) mix elements of Kabuki theatre with the conventions of the Broadway musical in Pacific Overtures, a highly original, inventive, powerful, educational and surprisingly humorous theatrical experience. Considered by many to be the artistic pinnacle of the legendary Sondheim/Prince collaborations, this exploration of culture and imperialism pushes the boundaries of musical theatre further than ever before.
Tickets are based off a sliding scale of $25-$75 *fees not included
