Once upon a time, a tiny princess was discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant. She grew up to be a beautiful young woman yet turned down the emperor’s proposal of marriage and returned to the moon… Jo Kanamori, choreographer and dancer who works on a global scale, has created an original ballet based on this well-known old tale of Japan. Top dancers of Japan’s leading ballet company perform the fairy tale that conveys messages that resonate with the modern audience.
