Retrospective 53 Minutes | May 29 - 30, 2026

Art House Productions & Garden State Singers presents:
Retrospective 53 Minutes
Friday, May 29th & Satuday, May 30th at 8:00pm

Based on the 2006 programmatic album of the same name, Retrospective 53 minutes reimagines ZUN’s original music and story into a new one-act ballet.

All aboard the Hiroshige No. 36! This story follows two university students who take a trip from Kyōto to Tokyo on the futuristic Boyu-Tōkaidō Shinkansen. On this 53 minute journey, the two learn about the “Kaleido-screen”. This screen lines the inside of the Shinkansen and displays the view from the old Tōkaidō road which inspired Utagawa Hiroshige to create his famous Ukiyo-e work The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō. Together they discuss the differences between the two cities and if it is acceptable to abandon reality for fantasy.

Dancers: Ashley Carter, Ketzia Lee
Dialogue & Orchestration: Cruz Roger Romero

Choreographers: Cruz Roger Romero, Ashley Carter, Ketzia Lee
