| "The original Chekhov play has been condensed into a 60-minute whirlwind full of wit, humour and surprise that swings between the highs and lows of young women coming to terms with beauty, aging and disappointment... a testimony to the best of highly original and energetic dance choreography." The Flying Inkpot A long-awaited stage appearance from Japan's internationally renowned contemporary dance theatre company Pappa Tarahumara will finally be realized at Patravdi Theatre on 26 August 2009 (Wednesday). Directed and choreographed by the troupe's Artistic Director Hiroshi Koike, Pappa Tarahumara will present "Three Sisters", an adaptation from Anton Chekov's timeless literary classic. The performance transforms the setting of Moscow into the context of the Japanese countryside in the 1960s. Its seemingly sweet portrayal of three bored sisters grappling with womanhood spirals into a sensual and charged meditation on female identity, coming-of-age and the Japanese obsession with youth culture. This eccentric comic tragedy, narrated through a dynamic choreography, is a powerfully condensed alternative to the company's larger-scale multi-disciplinary works. Since its premiere in 2005, "Three Sisters" have been performed over 100 times in more than 30 countries, including at New York's Joyce Theatre, Singapore's Esplanade, Guangdong Modern Dance Festival, and has won rave reviews across the world. Founded by director Hiroshi Koike in 1982, Pappa TARAHUMARA is distinctive and extraordinary from other theater companies for their flexibility and synergetic method in their creative process in which dance, play, music, and visual arts are combined to present a wholesome theatre arts. The troupe has attracted many audiences worldwide and has attained and international recognition. "Three Sisters" is organized by Pappa Tarahumara, in cooperation with The Japan Foundation, Bangkok and Patravadi Theatre. The event is supported by Tokyo Metropolitan Governent, and Mekong-Japan Exchange Year 2009. Performance: "Three Sisters" by Pappa Tarahumara
