Re: RAT The Sassies!!!!

I have had the good fortune to work with one of Mexico's finest theater 
artists, Abrahm
Oceranski . His work is known all over Latin  America, and he now has a small 
following here in Dallas where he has been given the opportunity to produce 
his works at one of our finest theaters, Teatro Dallas. 
 His themes are mostly western/latin but his performance style is Japanese 
Kabuki and Noh theater.
 Most recently he produced a work here called TALES FROM THE MIST based on 
Akira
Kurosawa's ROSHOMON, which was transcendant.He transposed the original 
setting from imperial Japan to pre Mexican-American war. Set was minimal and 
costumes were a combination Texas frontier and imperial Japan. Masks and 
ritual chanting borrowed from meso american and Carribean religious 
ceremonies lent the piece and earie mythic
quality.
 This year he is coming back to Dallas with a show called IMMOBILE JOURNEY 
(or 
Viaje Imobile in spanish) based on Shakespeare's Macbeth . The cast consists 
of three women. 
If anyone is going to be in Dallas within the coming month ,and is interested 
in a pure theatrical experiance, I urge you to see it. 
 I was going to nominate his play, Tales from the Mist, but thought twice 
about it, since it is very likely that only a few of the Dallas rat-listers 
saw it.
