The second performance in an ongoing performance series featuring live music and dance, The Rashomon Effect is an improvisational score based on the storytelling method employed in Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomôn.

The term "Rashomon effect" refers to the effect of subjectivity on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it.

In The Rashomon Effect, eight performers inhabit an improvised score in which sound and movement themes are introduced and revisited by each performer, morphing and expanding as memories do.
