ABOUT
The five dynamic young dancers of Geimaru-za trained in the Department of Traditional Japanese Music at Tokyo’s prestigious University of the Arts; they appear at Duke Performances as part of their first-ever tour of the United States. Performing with eight live musicians, including shamisen (a three-stringed lute), fue (flute), and a resounding percussion section of taiko, o-tsuzumi, and ko-tsuzumi, the consummate artists of Geimaru-za offer an authentic performance of a distinctly Japanese dance tradition made vital and new.
This tour of Geimaru-za is produced & organized by Japan Society, New York & supported by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan & The Asahi Shimbun Foundation.
