Caltech Theater Arts presents “Rashamon” at Descanso Gardens this weekend

 

A Buddhist priest, a woodcutter, and a young woman are three of the characters in the conflicting story at the Rashamon gate.

by Timothy Rutt

“Rashamon” is a classic Japanese film, directed by Akira Kurosawa, where witnesses tell conflicting stories of a crime that may or may not have occurred.

Theater Arts at Caltech (TACIT) will present an outdoor theatrical version of the story in two performances:  at Descanso Gardens, in the Under the Oaks Theater on March 23 and 24, and in the garden of the TACIT house, 275 N. Hill Avenue, Pasadena, on April 6 and 7.

All performances are at 2:30 PM. The Descanso Gardens performances are free with garden admission, and Caltech performances have tickets at the door only ($15 general/ $10 student-staff-seniors, $5 Caltech students).

For more information, visit tacit.caltech.edu or call (626) 395-3295
