The actors of Remus Theater sing traditional songs from Morocco, Uganda, Corsica, Italy, Brasil and Balkan countries. The performance features such acclaimed artists as an Iranian visruoso of Persian ney flute Mohammad Rasouli and a Japanese butoh dancer Rui Ishihara as well as a Japanese traditional Nihon Buyo.dancer - Hana Umeda
