Hanjo

A forlorn performer, Aura, locks herself in a room and decides to abandon life as she awaits her true love’s return. A woman named Hannes becomes smitten with Aura and convinces the romantic to go away with her, but secretly contrives to prevent Aura from ever reuniting with her lover! Hanjo demonstrates how tortuous life can be when we no longer have the power to perceive or to express love, and yet have the insatiable desire to possess it. Directed by Kameron Steele, Hanjo is an experimental work in Spanish and English, translated from Japanese and adapted by The South Wing, an international theatre company comprised of artists from México, the USA, Argentina and Belgium. The company has worked extensively with visionaries Robert Wilson, Mabou Mines, Guillermo Heras and Tadashi Suzuki. Hanjo was named “Play of the Year” for 2003 by Mural Newspaper and received a grant from the 2003-2004 US-México Fund for Culture.
