Senjo

Tickets and Information

Active Eye, a new performance company, presents as its inaugural production the original piece, Senjo. The performance is an opera in four parts, based upon the Zen koan "Senjo and her Soul are Separated." Interweaving the sounds of a string quartet performed live by counter)induction (a New York-based contemporary music ensemble), Buddhist liturgical chanting, the poetic language of playwright Lucas Hnath, and movement inspired by both East and West, this unique experimental opera brings an ancient Chinese ghost story to the American stage.
