This delightful show is an adaptation of a Japanese legend and, while firmly set in our world here and now, it beautifully preserves that magical, atmospheric charm of its homeland! It is the captivating story of a spirit searching for both peace and a touch of vengeance through a series of whimsical encounters where worlds blur together and time simply melts away. Inside a wonderfully old, dark house, our brave heroine joyfully paves her way toward the light, closely followed by you, our fantastic audience, who will wander right alongside her through unusual apparitions and upside-down worlds! What starts as a cozy, simple story of two young people just getting to know each other delightfully transforms into an absolutely gripping experience that will sweep you off your feet. The realistic facade is playfully teased by sudden shifts in rhythm, bizarre surprises, and unpredictable antics, as the mysterious old house eagerly begins to whisper its secrets!
