In Japanese folklore, twilight is the time when the supernatural world awakens, everyday objects become enchanted and shapeshifters and trickster spirits take to the streets. Sydney’s absurdist innovators Clockfire Theatre Company unlock the ghostly realm that lurks alongside our own in Night Parade of One Hundred Goblins.

This highly physical theatre experience, propelled by live taiko drumming, will bring the works in Japan Supernatural to life in a fantastical, otherworldly procession. The exhibition will be filled with a heady soundtrack by Tokyo-based musician Eiko Ishibashi, composed especially for this Sydney Festival event, alongside the murmurings of kyōka (Japanese mad poetry).

Co-presented by Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney Festival and Clockfire Theatre Company. The performance is made possible by the generous support of Gandel Foundation, Carole Lamerton, Kiera Grant, Robyn Martin-Weber.
