Saw Masanari Kawahara’s tribute to Thich Nhat Hahn’s life and wisdom last Friday. Magical story-telling, beautifully articulated puppetry. Kawahara’s art moves the soul.
It was a privilege to see Masa’s interpretation of Thich Nhat Hahn’s life. The small (3′ x 4′) stage focuses your attention in a thoughtful fashion as does the purposeful storytelling. Thanks for a moving experience.
