Mirror and Music de Teshigawara, regarder le sensible de l’autre côté du miroir

A new Petrushka full of contemporary anguish as Japanese artist Saburo Teshigawara presents a world premiere to celebrate his Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement award in Venice. 

Several notable house debuts, including the renowned director and choreographer Sabuto Teshigawara, enlivened the New National Theatre's first-ever production of Gluck's opera.

Teshigawara is now 65 and it is beyond comprehension that a man can still move with such muscular control and feline fluidity well into his seventh decade.

Saburo Teshigawara sets Rameau’s opéra-ballet Pigmalion as a compelling dance performance

Saburo Teshigawara's condensed reading of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde plays down notions of an adulterous union, a lovers' pact and spiritual journey, instead delivering a powerful image of female resilience.

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Saburo Teshigawara present a double-bill under the heading Spirit. At the Gothenburg Opera. The evening promises high quality, yet harbors the danger that the level of abstraction which permeates the two works might undermine the urgency of the message.
