Mori Art Museum Second Anniversary Event:
"The Hawk Princess,"
Performed as Part of Hiroshi Sugimoto: End of Time

At the beginning of the 20th century, Irish poet W.B. Yeats obtained copies of Noh plays translated from Japanese by Ernest Fenollosa, which ifluenced his work greatly and inspired him to write, in particular, The Hawk’s Well (Taka no Ido). At the end of the Second World War the work found its way back to Japan and was adapted again, this time back into a Noh, by Yokomichi Mario. It was called The Hawk Princess (Takahime), and was unique in that it combined elements of traditional Japanese and Celtic literature.
Here The Hawk Princess will be performed on a special stage constructed in cypress as part of the Mori Art Museum’s Hiroshi Sugimoto retrospective. The stage will be surrounded by photographs from one of the artist’s best-known series, Seascapes, which will make the stage appear as a deserted island on a variegated sea.
The play will feature some of the best Noh actors working today: Kanze Tetsunojo (old man), Asami Masakuni (The Hawk Princess) and Nomura Mansai (Cuhulin).
