The Edo Marionettes Troupe is on tour from Tokyo and will perform enchanting ayatsuri ningyo (string-controlled puppets), a powerful puppet tradition that came to Japan from China around 360 years ago. This exciting program includes four vignettes: Kappore, a solo male marionette performing a fun, energetic dance; Yoidore, a stumbling drunkard; Kurokami, the touching story of a beautiful young woman in love; and Shishimai, the wild Lion Dance.
