"This is very much Complicite territory: echoes through time, connections across worlds. In McBurney`s hands, mathematical sequences become journeys through life, and numerology a means of giving substance to the unknowable."
Brian Logan, The Times

Shun-kin

13 Aug 2008

February 2009 - Barbican, London
March 2009 - Setagaya Public Theatre, Tokyo

Co-produced by Complicite, Setagaya Public Theatre and barbicanbite09

Complicite's latest devised piece, Shun-kin is inspired by two 1933 texts by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki: A Portrait of Shunkin and In Praise of Shadows. This is the second collaboration with Setagaya Public Theatre. Performed by an entirely Japanese cast (many of whom performed in The Elephant Vanishes) the production opened with a short sell-out run in Tokyo February 2008.
Directed by Simon McBurney
