Heian Shuitan~Cirque de Kyoto~


Classic Literatue × Traditional Arts × New Technology Ryojinhisho 2021 Cirque de Kyoto

This project engages in actualizing the very process of creating culture, which the people of Kyoto have been undertaking since the Heian period a thousand years ago. This is done through producing the distinctively Kyoto style of modern performance that is Cirque de Kyoto, which utilizes the highly entertainment qualities of sarugaku, a traditional theater form to which Japanese popular performing arts continuing today trace their roots.
Performed in Shin-en Garden at Heian Jingu Shrine, which is designed in the style of Heian-kyo, Cirque de Kyoto explores the theme of diversity, as shared by the two classical literary works that inspired it: Shinsarugakuki and Ryojinhisho.
