Irish actor Conor Lovett (Gare St. Lazare, Ireland) will blend Irish and Japanese traditions in performing a live, English-language Benshi narration (an integral part of early Japanese silent cinema), directed by Irish Times Irish Theatre Award Winning Director Judy Hegarty Lovett (Gare St. Lazare, Ireland).
