ODAWARA ART FOUNDATION

“At the Hawk’s Well,” produced by Hiroshi Sugimoto, will be featured as one of the opening programs
this season at The National Opera of Paris to celebrate the Opera’s 350th anniversary.
This production is based on the play of the same name by William Butler Yeats who received inspiration
for his work from Noh. Hiroshi Sugimoto collaborates with Ryoji Ikeda, Alessio Silvestrin, Rick Owens
and the Opera’s ballet dancers. In the long history of the Opera, this will be the first time that
Noh performers have appeared on stage.

Please see the promotional video in which Hiroshi Sugimoto explains about the concept of the work.
