When it premieres in Fall 2017, Kaidan Project will be a multi-sensory experience and will involve the Hyakumonagatari Kaidankai (the telling of 100 supernatural tales) a tradition dating back to 1660 and was also involved in Samurai Warrior endurance training. The experience will involve taking small groups of participants on a ‘ghost tour’ of Little Tokyo, while the 100 tales unexpectedly unfold around them, revealing a higher level of paranormal activity, resulting in a thrilling finale. This piece will not be for the faint of heart and will involve moments of sudden darkness, loud noises and frightening imagery. On August 6 and 7, Rogue Artists Ensemble will present staged readings of this collaboration with East/West Players, written by Naomi Iizuka and directed by Rogue Artistic Director Sean Cawelti, and will solicit feedback from the audience about the project's development. The readings, which include puppet elements and a special behind the scenes look, are free to attend, however donations will be accepted and RSVP is requested by joining the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1772589349629223.
This program is presented with the support of a grant from the City of West Hollywood. For more info on WeHo Arts programming please visit www.weho.org/arts or follow via social media @WeHoArts.
