Dogugaeshi

Dogugaeshi is an intimate, abstract, contemporary performance journey of images and emotions influenced by the rarefied tradition of Japanese dogugaeshi stage mechanism technique and Twist's own encounters with the remaining rural caretakers of this once popular art form, born on the island of Awaji, Japan. This hour-long performance features original shamisen compositions created and performed live by authorized master musician Yumiko Tanaka.

Kyoto performances


We were lucky to have had sold out houses for our performances here.  Thanks to the hard work of a totally dedicated team, the show is looking its best.  A gem in the company is native son Poe, who is not only our associate lighting designer, but he is also our interpreter and tour guide. The stage was completely transformed and audiences connected to our Dogugaeshi.
