Ballet Pixelle presents “Shuzenji”, a ballet set in 1700s Japan. “Shuzenji” tells the story of two lovers, Sakura and Tokai, who are separated from each other when Tokai is murdered at the shrine of Shuzenji by jealous Oirans, or courtesans. However, the faithful Sakura continues to search for Tokai at the shrine, and because of her enduring love, Tokai’s spirit is freed. What happens next? A tale of love, commitment, and loss set in adventure, fighting, magic, and mystery.
