7 (x1) Samurai
David Gaines, USA
"...a captivating combination of movement and sound - absolutely refined and graceful movement, absolutely precise and hilarious sound."
Orlando Sentinal
Enter a simple theatre with the stage empty, except for a small wooden box with two masks sitting on it and hold on tight! From swashbuckling samurai to surly villain, complete
with action-flick style fight sequences to a constant stream of self-produced sound effects, this one-man show breathes madcap life into a classic tale. At comic breakneck pace,
David Gaines performs the epic story of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese cinematic masterpiece, The Seven Samurai, by way of mime that is "part Chaplin, part Looney Tunes and more
than a little Cirque du Soleil..." (NUVO, Indianopolis).
