Tsure is freely inspired by the classic Noh Theater play Yamamba (Mountain Crone). Tsure, a dancer from Kyoto, is traveling in a pilgrimage to Zenkō-ji temple in the provinces. One day, during the journey, the sun suddenly sets before sundown, and a woman appears. She reveals herself as a mountain crone and asks the dancer to perform for her. When the frightened dancer tries to do so, she angrily stops her, and promises to return later in the night. At night the mountain crone re-appears, she narrates her days as a mountain crone, preaches the philosophy of the law of Buddha, performs a dance, and vanishes into thin air. The composition divides the action into five movements. After a short introduction, the somewhat cocky and virtuosic Tsure’s Kyoto dance is followed by the Pilgrimage, which is interrupted by the furious Encounter with Yamamba. The elegant Tsure dances with Yamamba, and the thoughtful, occasionally joyous Yamamba’s words of wisdom close the piece.
