199. The Cup | Mukashi, Mukashi (Corpus & Kio)

Welcome back to the 199th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 199th episode we bring you a Duet Review of Mukashi, Mukashi (Once Upon a Time), co-created by Corpus Dance Projects and the Kio Company. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz, as they discuss folkloric figures, subtitled translations, and the meeting of East and West. Mukashi, Mukashi ran at the Theatre Centre (1115 Queen St W, Toronto, ON) from September 24 to 29, 2024. See the company’s website for more information about the show: https://www.corpus.ca/creations/mukashi-mukashi This review contains many SPOILERS for Mukashi, Mukashi. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the [10:43] mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk. Even though the current Toronto run has already come to an end, we hope and expect that it will be revived elsewhere.
