In ASIAN TREASURE BAG OF FOLK TALES, Eth-No-Tec’s Nancy Wang and Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo bring ancient stories from the many lands of the East. Whether it’s learning about respecting people, as in “The Man Who Planted Onions” from Korea, or about sacrifice, as in “The Long-Haired Girl” from China, the stories reflect the values of a diversity of cultures through triumph and tragedy as well as the intricacies of life itself. See how “Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess” helped create dance in Japan, and laugh with the “Seven Silly Fellows” from the Philippines. Young, old and every age in between will enjoy this marvelous collection of Asian stories, bridging the forms of East and West through movement, music and the spoken word.

“…accomplished musicians on a wide variety of instruments…evocative movement artists and deft performers blending Western and Eastern dance and theater motifs with a deliciously comic touch.”
