Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-PlatzOrganizerAbout
In "Mononoke" by the Japanese author and director Satoko Ichihara, the ironware saleswoman Takako carries a curse: the curse of her father, who disappeared when she got her first period. In Japan, mononoke are the spirits that take up residence in people. Takako's attempt to free herself from everything she was given unasked becomes a surreal heroine's journey through a world of gods, puppets and ironware.
Ichihara is one of the most important voices of a new, feminist generation of theatre makers and received the Kishida Kunio Drama Award in 2020. For her first work at the Volksbühne she invited the Berlin-based South Korean artist Mire Lee as set designer; together with costume designer Belle Santos she draws on the Japanese puppet theatre tradition Bunraku.
The performance has English surtitles and runs 1 hour 45 minutes. Recommended for ages 16 and up. Content notes: sexualised violence, pornographic images, ableist depiction and incest.
