He gives shadow puppet and music performances in Asia and throughout the world. Born in Tokyo in 1980, Kawamura studied Wayang Kulit (shadow puppetry) and gamelan (traditional Indonesian percussion music) in Bali, Indonesia for two years. Come experience Kawamura’s mysterious tale that he spins through puppets and simple props through light and shadows created with his entire body and through music. For Kawamura, who has forged a unique style based on traditional wayan krit which he studied in Bali, the art of shadow puppet theater lies within the “interval” between the puppets (reality) and their shadows (unreality), thus serving to connect us to memories that are invisible to our eyes. Working together with local citizens, Kawamura uses shadow puppet theater to revive nearly forgotten folktales and legends and stories lying dormant within our minds. The Hara Museum is happy to present a new work by shadow puppeteer and musician Koheysai Kawamura who will be joined by the musician Oorutaichi.
