Directed by: Kenichi Kasai
Performed by: Kyoko Maya

Kyoko Maya, who appeared in last year's performance of "Talks by an Actress about Japanese Literature" at the ACM Theatre, expressed a wish to perform again, without compensation, in order "to raise the spirits of the people of quake-stricken Mito." The September performance is the fulfillment of that desire. She will do a reading of the 10th Night from Yume Juya (Ten Nights Dream) by Soseki Natsume, as well as Tale of Acquaintances of Masako Shirasu from Hana Kuyo (Flower Memorial Offering), a contemporary Noh work. She will also carry out a dialogue with the animation director Kenichi Kasai. The performance will show how devoted Maya is to the city of Mito.
