This is "Sumida River Trailer s" by What More? Productions on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

A mother meets a ferryman on the banks of Sumida River. He is waiting to take the last passengers across the water. She is looking for her lost son. Their boat carries them into the world of the ghost child.

Poignancy and comedy mix in a shifting kaleidoscope of sign languages and spoken word, where Deaf performers are played like musical instruments, where drums beat to the sound of speech and song, where silence is as deep as the world.

Verity Lane’s scintillating production is a re-imagining of a 650-year-old Japanese Noh (mask) play Sumidagawa which inspired Benjamin Britten to compose his musical parable Curlew River. It stars Chisato Minamimura as the Mother and Brian Duffy as the Ferryman, with percussive music and haunting shadow play.
