The Pillow Book

based on the poetry of Sei Shonagon

"Spans from the floating world of Kyoto courtesans through rhythms of fiery passion to a performance art finale celebration of female beauty . . . Shakt's pulsating, whirling rhythms rise to a crescendo of sensual expression and emotional force, with anguished movements proclaiming the pain as well as the joy of love."
