A Noh Christmas Carol (Family-friendly Performance)

2840 Mariposa St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA

DESCRIPTION

Theatre of Yugen's signature holiday production returns by popular demand!

 
Victorian England is transported to Japan, set against the backdrop of its transition from the Edo to Meiji period, a time of significant societal change. Drawing on the Japanese theaters of Noh, Kyogen, Kabuki, and Butoh, this multifaceted reimagination of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol reminds us that this is the season for love, family, community, and wonder. A Noh Christmas Carol brings Dickens’ beloved classic tale to life in a way that no other production can.

Originally conceived by Yuriko Doi and Cienna Stewart in 1993

There is no age limit for this family-friendly reimagination of Dickens’ Christmas Carol, but we recommend it for children ages 5 and up. While the production is full of heartwarming moments, it includes scenes featuring ghosts in dark lighting, which may be a little spooky for very young viewers.
