| Description | Two modern classics... The turbulent life of Yukio Mishima, one of the greatest exponents of Japanese literature, led him to commit harakiri at the age of forty-five. The haunting beauty of his two modern classic, Hanjo and Hell Screen, promise an evening of pure and unforgettable delight at the theatre. Hanjo In this a bittersweet story of unrequited love, the beautiful Hanako waits at a certain station with an opened fan in her arms, peering into the face of every man who alights at the station, only to return each time disappointed to her waiting-room bench. Hell Screen When Yoshihide is commissioned to paint Hell, he sets about having his sadistic vision recreated before him so that he may paint it with measured strokes... Revealed in a cup of sake with a crimson maple leaf floating on it, his conceit comes with a hellish twist– that of a beautiful maiden roasted alive in the inferno of a falling carriage. Such is the price of true art. |
