Sachiyo will perform this week from May 11 to 15, 2022, as Okamoto Miya at Puppetopia at HERE Arts Centre, NYC. It is a work-in-progress of One Night in Winter, the first chapter of Shinnai Meets Puppetry - a project to introduce the world of Shinnai-bushi to international audiences through puppetry.
Sachiyo worked with Brooklyn-based puppet artist Rowan Magee to develop this work. It's a story of a lonely old man who receives a surprise visit from Tanuki (a Japanese raccoon dog) on a cold winter night.
This adaptation of the song by great master Okamoto Bunya is performed by Sachiyo Takahashi, Rowan Magee, and Emma Wiseman.
Please come and meet our Tanuki created by Rowan. It is a light, fun piece to cheer you up!
The evening is a shared bill with two other remarkable puppet works.
This work is made possible by a grant from the Jim Henson Foundation, Puppetry at the Carriage House (PATCH) residency funded by the Jane Henson Foundation and Dream Music Puppetry at HERE.
