In time for Halloween, Pork Filled Productions (PFP) and REBATEnsemble present The Night Parade, a theatre experience that immerses audiences in the supernatural and horror, based on the old Japanese folk tale, Hyakki Yagy?, Night of a Hundred Demons.
Night Parade revolves around the brilliant, innovative and deeply troubled Shunkuno Arashi, a pioneer of Japanese art uncovered in the last decade. Her legacy spanned one hundred pieces, all suffused with the theme of demons. But when an art show featuring her work arrives in town, mysterious, unsettling events begin to place. The walls begin to move and shadows take form. Be warned: nothing is as it seems!
Reviews:
“…the atmosphere created by the talented artists involved, is the main reason to check out Night Parade.……there are some gorgeous visuals (and sounds) on display involving the setting, the costumes, and the use of props and masks. A lot of creative work has gone into this show and it does create a deliciously creepy and macabre atmosphere as the Parade of Demons marches before us. ”

“…the sheer amount of spectacle and creativity Night Parade has to offer is a testament to the vitality of fringe theatre…While many productions reduce their minority performers to the ensemble, it is refreshing to see a largely Asian-American cast steer a new work. And though Night Parade may falter, it should serve as a roadmap for theatre companies big and small to utilize their resources and make something truly original.”
