Abstract: This pseudo-ancient quasi-Sino-Japanese stage presentation from the play by Helene Cixous concerns a devastating flood in a mythical Asian land, and the question of who shall be saved-- the nobility or the peasants. The show is visually stunning as the actors are presented as life-size bunraku puppets, manipulated by black-swathed handlers.
