Enjoy a magical fable based on a Japanese legend about a lonely young man who rescues a mermaid. He then journeys to the Land of the Dragon Queen at the bottom of the sea. When poison from the Land Above threatens the Sea People, the young man learns that all is connected—there is just one ocean, one world. Told through music, dance and taiko.
Written by National Endowment for the Arts Fellow Brenda Aoki, with music by Emmy-winning composer Mark Izu and dance by Tony-nominated choreographer Kimi Okada.
"Aoki encompasses the comic and the tragic with fine, quick delicate gestures, using everything from her expressive hands and face to her long sweeping black hair…making relevant and magical even the most faraway tales."
