From the Hara Museum, Tokyo
Last year’s 、BYAKUYA event that took place in the Hara Museum courtyard garden is now on DVD!
On the first weekend of October, this multimedia extravaganza incorporated the dance performance of Ikuyo Kuroda, the music of Jiro Matsumoto and a cast of characters in a production that unfolded against an ever-changing backdrop created by film director and image maker Shutaro Oku using Projection Mapping, a technique of directly projecting visual imagery onto architectural surfaces using theatrical equipment. The response to the event was extraordinary.
Sale of the DVD has already begun at The Museum Shop at the Hara Museum on Friday, March 9, prior to its general release on Friday, March 16.
