REVIEWS! "Sometimes she is a crumpled ball of terror, sometimes a confident and joyful seductress, sometimes a monstrous, clawing thing, leaning backwards at an angle that does not seem humanly possible. Every moment Yokko moves is intentional, and for this reason it is impossible to look away."- by Nikki Muller (Read Full Review "Fringe Review") "Hide Your Fires is an amazing piece of art by an amazing artist and I cannot more highly recommend making it part of your Fringe experience." -Matt Ritchey (Read full review here: "Gia On The Move") "Her physical embodiment of Lady Macbeth’s tortured, grief and regret-ridden soul is mesmerizing, haunting, and heartbreaking. Her immersion in this character is 100% and you are completely drawn in to this internal struggle, so skillfully externally manifested." -Eric Webb (Read Full Review) "Absolute genius. You’ll never see a more compelling or disturbing Lady M. Everyone else can just go home, because Yokko pretty much nailed it. Amazing, engrossing, unsettling… everything you’ve wanted this character to be, embodied. -Nikki Muller at Fringe Review site (Read Full Review) Here are the reviews from the audience!

Hide Your Fires: Butoh Lady Macbeth
June 13-30, 2019 Lounge Theatre
at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019 ABOUT THE SHOW:
The accursed spirit of Lady Macbeth invites the audience to experience her nightmare of stifled ambition, unfulfilled desire, and ultimate loss. Telling the story solely through her perspective, this production uses Butoh (a Japanese avant-garde dance form), movement and various texts to put you inside the mind and body of one of Shakespeare's most famous villains.
