Phantasm — an illusory, hallucinatory phenomenon, strange thing that has fantastic character.
— Theodor Ziehen, German psychiatrist

'What a strange dream I had', — Alice thought, and she ran home, not to be late for tea.

Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Fly to Japan with the performance "The Samurai's Daughter".
The play "The Samurai's Daughter" according to the Japanese folk tale "Hime with the big" is appropriate for both children and adults.
The spectacle is Takeda Japanese Puppet Theater, and the puppets are made of authentic materials from Japan.

Everyone carries within themselves pure love and kindness. This is what the characters of "The Samurai's Daughter" tell the audience. Ume carries a huge rice bowl on her head, which chases her around everywhere. Only Itarou - the youngest son of the Shogun - doesn't mock her and becomes her friend. They both face various obstacles, looking for the way to break the bowl's curse. Thanks to the magic bowl, Ume and Itarou understand that with faith and honesty, happiness can be achieved.

Enjoy the precision and beauty of Japanese puppet theater and see how pure and true love can open any door!

A modern spectator is ready for transformation
We believe that a modern viewer is ready to transform the sophisticated consumer of theatrical activity into a partner. Together with the audience, we create 'Phantasms' on the stage, and a joint creative act, which remains true as long as the effect of surprise and unpredictability is present. Each performance is born from the interaction of the actors and the audience, each performance — experiment, so your applause — this is not an expression of gratitude for what you saw, but rather a sign of consent to participate in the event.

When the idea is slipping from our consciousness, it does not cease to exist - as well as a machine for hiding an angle does not dissolve in the air. She was just out of sight. Later, we can meet this machine again, and how can we come across what previously was thought lost.

— Carl Gustav Jung, Analytical Psychology.

Media About Us
Ask questions, despite its banality, collectively run while sitting in the hall through the process that does not stop even after the performance. Of course, in the end, you can try to capture the author and the relativity of the world, but you will have to dig out the issues yourself and unpack them on your own. It is good for your soul.
Peter Grey, Theatre Observer
This is a very good performance. There are a lot of things. It is great for Toronto, where people are at the peak of their success, and it is helpful for them to look at their past and their roots.
