Upcoming Screenings: Cinema Kabuki & Last Life in the Universe!
CAS is kicking off our fall event calendar with two screenings: Cinema Kabuki: Sagi Musume and Last Life in the Universe!
From a white heron to a coquettish girl, to a woman seducing her lover and hellish betrayal, Sagi Museum, or “Heron Maiden,” is one of the most challenging dance roles in Kabuki theatre. This screening is hosted by CAS in collaboration with the Japan Foundation, Japan America Society of Colorado, and the CU International Film Series. Join us Tuesday, September 13 at 7:30 in the Muenzinger Auditorium for this special film.
On Wednesday, September 14 at 7:30 in Muenzinger, we will host a special showing of Last Life in the Universe.
A suicidal, obsessively compulsive Japanese librarian is forced to lie low in Thailand with a pot-smoking woman coping with the recent loss of her sister. David Atherton, assistant professor of Japanese, will lead a discussion after the film. This screening is hosted by CAS in collaboration with the Japan Foundation and the CU International Film Series.
