Luminous Emptiness

Naropa University's Performing Arts Center
Boulder, CO

LUMINOUS EMPTINESS is a multi-media, staged adaptation of the text BARDO THODAL, better known in the U.S. as THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD. This ancient Tibetan text was intended to serve as a guide for the deceased soul from the moment of death through to the moment of the next rebirth. Katsura Kan, a native of Kyoto, Japan and a Master Butoh artist, will direct the second-year MFA Theater ensemble. The original inspiration for the production came from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Naropa Universitys founder, who envisioned a modern interpretation of the text that would be accessible to a contemporary audience. LUMINOUS EMPTINESS is a co-production of the Golden Sun Foundation for World Culture and Naropa Universitys MFA Theater: Contemporary Performance Program.
