YURI UMEMOTO
More money, more fame, more art, more life.
In search of “more” – of excess, of abundance – a Japanese composer encounters three ghostly nobles. They put his supposed longings to the test and confront him with what truly matters to him: his faith, his music, his culture, his father.

In search of “more” – of excess, of abundance – a Japanese composer encounters three ghostly nobles. They put his supposed longings to the test and confront him with what truly matters to him: his faith, his music, his culture, his father. Between European opera, Japanese ghost story, anime, and artificial intelligence, „crypt_“ weaves together the tale of „Hoichi the Earless“ into a music theatre piece about ambition, identity, and the act of creation.
