Comments
“I felt I extended my own musical voice in this fantastic project with its brilliant members and staff. It was a unique experience for all involved; the glimpses of movement caught and the sounds overheard stimulated the imagination of the audience and participants alike. There isn’t another theatre piece like it. There was a pleasant feeling of crossing over into a floating world against a backdrop of Japanese & Western instruments.”
