HERE - OCTOBER 17+18 AT SCHAAP CENTER

WHAT'S ON THE PROGRAM

Ongaeshi: The Debt of Feathers
Choreographer: Yosh*to Sakuraba

Inspired by the poignant Japanese folktale, "The Grateful Crane," this abstract contemporary work explores the fragile threads between memory, sacrifice, and loss.

Through black and white animation, intricate partnering, and emotionally-charged movement, this piece reflects on love’s quiet cost and the irreversible passage of fate.
