The Gate is a magical rollercoaster noir mystery tour
through Japanese folklore. Directed by Saori Aoki, acclaimed for her work in
Japan, USA, Canada and the UK, she started the Kaso Jogi (Virtual Ruler)
theatre company to spread her unique fusion of traditional Japanese theatre
with western influenced musical theatre, around the world. Audiences will be
greeted by the striking original songs of Makoto Honda, and a mysterious
gatekeeper welcoming “all ye corpses” with the suspect smile of one who might
be an angel, a boatman on the Styx, or an emissary from hell. Breathtaking
physical dance-theatre set to original music. This performance will be the
world premiere English translation of this raucous adventure.
