In a Grove presents three varying accounts of the murder of a samurai, Kanazawa no Takehiro, whose corpse has been found in a bamboo forest near Kyoto. Each section simultaneously clarifies and obfuscates what the reader knows about the murder, eventually creating a complex and contradictory vision of events that brings into question humanity's ability or willingness to perceive and transmit objective truth. For the first time in history, this famous Japanese story will be performed in the Mongolian language. The play was translated by B.Bataa and the music will be conducted by S.Myagmar (director and artist of Black Box Theatre, Mongolia) and Oleg Yumov, (director of Buryatia, Russia). Black Box Theatre successfully opened the play in November 2013 and the season continues from the 8th of December every weekend. We hope you enjoy this world famous story.
