Aynu myth told in shadows, song
By Perri Haser | January 8, 2014One day many, many years ago, an evil monster captured the sun goddess, taking her hostage as she emerged on the horizon. Numerous “Kamuys,” or gods, tried to rescue her to no avail. Aynu Rakkur must slay the shadow monster, who threatens the future of humankind. “Poro Oyna,” the creation myth of the Aynu people, will be brought to life at 8 p.m. this Friday and Saturday. Audiences in the Hopkins Center’s Moore theater will be treated to a production that features supersized puppets, shadow and light effects and an original soundtrack.
