What it’s about. This is a work I created in 1991 as an attempt to become a "master" on "Yuji Miyake's Shrimp-Bending Master Heaven." Unfortunately, the show ended before I could take on the challenge. It was a fun year that taught me the obvious truth: the meaning of a work lies not in leaving it as it is, but in showing it to an audience. I'm grateful to all the staff and performers.
How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, SONATA has been warmly received by audiences.
