NOT TO BE MISSED

Japan, 16th century: a gothic, dramatic, and gripping tale, a true story in four acts and thirty-five scenes, set in the noble world of the samurai, amidst wars and hara-kiri.

Nobunaga Oda, the demon samurai who changed the destiny of a country.

Meanwhile, in highly cultured Europe, witches and heretics were being burned at the stake...

“On stage, the taiko players frantically beat out obsessive rhythms, and from their throats rose the cry of the shamans 'kakegoe,’ and the heartbreaking sound of the nokan flute invoked the spirits.”

In the picture: “... samurai dressed in the triumph of monumental armor, holding a katana in one hand and, in the other, holding by the hair as one carries a handbag, a severed head”
