From July 10th through 30th, the Lincoln Center Festival brings extraordinary Asian performers to America. The hippest artists in Bangkok converge in New York on July 28th and 29th for Ramakien: A Rak Opera, a radical and lusty re-telling of the timeless Thai masterpiece The Ramayana. Filmmakers, visual artists, rock and pop stars, underground electronica DJs, and other assorted Thai scenesters illuminate present day Thai culture in this vibrant, fiery, and often raucous extravaganza. On July 21st and 22nd, the prolific Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara fuses sculpture with dance, air, space and time in his mysterious Bones in Pages. A cult figure in Japan, this celebrated artist has achieved iconic status throughout Europe and Festival provides a unique chance to witness his rare gifts. And, from July 27th through July 30th, Singapore’s Ong Keng Sen explores the secret world of the enigmatic geisha in Geisha, an enchanting tapestry of tea-house stories. This new production by Theatreworks Singapore includes traditional Kabuki dancers and performances on the three-stringed Japanese shamisen.

WATER (India, 2006, 114 minutes)
Deepa Mehta's trilogy draws to a close with this story of widows living in India. Powerful and moving, it rocked the Canadian box office and was targeted for trouble in India where the set was attacked and burned down.

THE MAD FOX (Japan, 1962, 109 minutes)
Friday, June 16 @ 8:00pm
Saturday, June 17 @ 4:45pm
I've never even heard of this Uchida Tomu film, but the description's got me curious:
"It's a crazy tale about a court fortune teller driven mad by a murder, who ends up marrying his slain lover's dead ringer, a fox in human form (got that?), incorporates animation, kabuki and butoh, colorist experiments, collapsing sets, animal masks, revolving stages, and scroll compositions..."

Museum of the Moving Image
DEATH TRANCE (Japan, 2005, 90 minutes)
Sunday, June 18 @ 2pm
Tak Sakaguchi (VERSUS), and Kentaro Seagal (Steven Seagal's son) star in this wild Japanese samurai flick with wall-to-wall action and medieval bazookas. Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura's action director this is a bunch of dumb, high kicking fun.
