Looking for an Eastern take on a Western classic? Japan Society<\/a> kicks off its fall 2011\/spring 2012 performing arts season with the Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC)\u2019s production of Medea<\/a><\/em> with a three-performance engagement from Sept. 23-25.<\/p>\n

Directed by SPAC artistic director Satoshi Miyagi, the performance makes its North American premiere as a visual feast on the scale of a kabuki play. Set in 19th century Japan among the nation\u2019s imperialist, gender-divided late Meiji era, this bold reinterpretation of Euripides\u2019 evergreen features a company of 19 presented in Miyagi\u2019s distinct bunraku<\/a> puppet theater-inspired style accompanied on stage by live music.<\/p>\n

Performed in Japanese with English subtitles, this stunning and internationally acclaimed production has traveled to 20 cities and 11 countries since its premiere in 1999. It also marks the return of SPAC to Japan Society, where the troupe mounted productions of\u00a0Electra<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Oedipus Rex <\/em>during national tours for both.<\/p>\n
