About Pappa

What's in the name？

There is an area in Mexico called "the Land of Tarahumara".

This region, located in the mountains, is well off the beaten track, and a fascinating place known for its culture and local customs. The decision to name the group after the Tarahumara Indians reflects our respect and fascination we feel for them.

However, we have not directly incorporated Tarahumara culture as such into our pieces.

What we have aimed for is to try somehow to capture and present the special wonder of Tarahumara culture, inexpressible and uninterpretable in modern rationalistic terms.

Three Sisters

SHIP IN A VIEW

Contemporary dance-theatre company, Pappa TARAHUMARA, adapts Anton Chekov's literary classic to the context of the Japanese countryside in the 1960s. It's seemingly sweet portrayal of three bored sisters grappling with womanhood spirals in to a sensual and charged meditation on female identity, coming-of age and the Japanese obsession with youth culture. This eccentric comic tragedy, narrated through dynamic choreography, is a powerfully condensed alternative to the company's larger-scale multi-disciplinary works.
