Dance, swordplay, and cutting-edge digital projections come together to tell the story of a lone female swordfighter navigating honour, resilience and survival in a male dominated world.
Inspired by the legacy of Japan’s ronin—masterless samurai who lived by their own code—this performance follows the journey of a fearless woman swordfighter who faces off against powerful adversaries, challenging both herself and those who stand in her path.
Through a captivating blend of movement and technology, RONiN takes audiences through Japan’s four seasons, from spring’s cherry blossoms to winter’s silent snowfall, creating an anime-inspired realm that merges ancient traditions with modern visual storytelling.
RONiN is a new collaboration between award-winning choreographer Yukiko Masui and digital artist Barret Hodgson, produced by The Place.
