National Bunraku Theater

Tuesday October 1

8pm

Quick Center for the Arts

The National Theatre makes its triumphant arrival in New York City for the first time in 32 years! Witness a stunning production of traditional Japanese puppet theater, featuring two quintessential climaxes from bunraku repertoire: Date Musume Koi no Higanoko (Oshichi, the Greengrocer’s Daughter) and Sonezaki Shinju (The Love Suicides at Sonezaki). Known for its globally influential three-person puppet manipulation technique invented in the mid-18th century, bunraku has been designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Featuring scenography by Kazuo Oga, art director of classic Studio Ghibli anime My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke, this performance offers Americans a rare opportunity to glimpse the rich culture not only of bunraku, but of Japan’s second-largest city ahead of Expo 2025, held in Osaka. This stunning art form honors the past while sharing stories that connect to the present.

This free event is all about highlighting the incredible work being done by local non-profit organizations to create a positive impact in our community. With over 25 local nonprofits participating, attendees can learn about volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, and donation needs. It's a chance to gather information and forge connections with those seeking to make a difference and get more involved.

Come by, enjoy a drink, grab a bite to eat, and learn more about local organizations. Admission is free, so come solo or bring your friends and colleagues!! Connecting for a Cause 🫶
