THEATRE OF YUGEN
Known for their use of poetic text set to contemporary music, San
Francisco’s venerable Theatre of Yugen creates a unique and imaginative
fusion of traditional Japanese theater with a western sensibility that is at
once ancient and avant-garde. YBCA is delighted to commission the world
premiere of Dogsbody by award-winning playwright Erik Ehn and directed
by Dijana Milosevic, founder of DAH Teatar of Serbia. Neither docudrama
nor overt political propaganda, Dogsbody examines war and genocide from
the point of view of child soldiers, by evoking a frightening vision of the
not-so-distant future.
