A fearless woman swordfighter faces off against powerful adversaries, challenging both herself and those who stand in her path.
Inspired by the legacy of Japan’s ronin – masterless samurai who lived by their own code – this performance combines dance, swordplay, and cutting-edge digital projections to tell the story of an unlikely hero navigating honour, resilience and survival in a male-dominated world. 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.
