Perhaps the most abstract show in the Basil Twist Festival is “Dogugaeshi,” at Studio Theatre. Its name is derived from a 17th century Japanese stage technique, in which painted sliding screens (fusuma-e) depicted landscapes, interiors or animals. The screens were split at the center of the stage and pulled apart by unseen puppeteers to reveal new paintings behind them.
