Based on Japanese folktales, Noh, and butoh that reveal the human unconscious, poetry drama aiming for a universal contemporary myth that transcends time and borders.
“Sun and Crystal” is a story about an apocalypse of modern civilization.
This is not a production with a chronological narrative, or what could be defined as ‘characters’.
This is a story about the memories of human extinction engraved in DNA.
Two shadows were dancing.
Memories of a woman killed in the field of flowers next to the battlefield.
The crystal was recording every those single memories.
A woman who is taken away by shadows meets an old man in a place where time has stopped somewhere down the line.
The old man says, "There is a crystal cave somewhere in this world."
The woman embarks on a journey of memory in search of the crystal of that world.
