What’s it about?
‘Kessoku’ means unity in Japanese – a way of working together that values each individual as part of the whole.
This is how our ensemble works; integrating the talents and ideas of everyone involved.
The production was based on 3 Japanese stories. It was full of fun and visual treats with physical theatre, puppetry, shadow projection, music, dance and more. Best described as ‘ Zen to mayhem in 50 minutes!,’ Kessoku takes the audience from the stillness and ritual of Japanese meditation and movement, into a high energy action-packed tanuki (that means a raccoon!) chase and fanfare which has delighted our diverse audiences.
