Samurai Solo Perfornance

Samurai is an hour-long, acrobatic, wordless, cartoon-styled solo rendition of Kurosawa's classic 3-hour epic film The Seven Samurai. It is breathtaking, memorable, and astonishingly funny.  This show is performed by David Gaines,an actor and director who specializes in movement, mask, commedia, and clown.  Energetic, ridiculous, hilarious, and acrobatic, it is a thrilling demonstration of movement, gesture, rhythm, mask work (with two Kabuki inspired masks), vocalized sound effects, deft character portrayals, and a mischievous sense of humor. With just these tools, an epic and timeless story is brought to life on the wide screen of the audience's imagination.
