Tokyo:Performance Viewing Tour with Lecture on Highlights

NORUHA "Virtual Disorder"

NORUHA is a young theater enterprise at the forefront of the next generation of theater professionals. The group’s signature work “Virtual Disorder” received great acclaim when it premiered in 2022. Based on the Japanese traditional performing arts pieces, the Kyogen “Natorigawa” and the Noh “Funa Benkei,”the work questions contemporary identities. A not-to-be-missed work depicting the “disorder” of stories in an age where everything is virtual that includes ghosts, loss of the self, and hidden desires.
