SUMO

Description

Entrenched in an elite sumo training facility in Tokyo, six men practice, eat, love, play and ultimately fight. 

 

Akio arrives as an angry, ambitious 18 year old with a lot to learn. Expecting dominance and fame, he slams headlong into his fellow wrestlers, especially Mitsuo, the highest ranked fighter. With their bodies on the line, and their futures at risk, the wrestlers struggle to carve themselves – and one another – into the men they dream of being. 

 

Lisa Sanaye Dring has painted a vivid world with poetic precision, mixing ancient, divine ritual with the guttural ferocity of competition. This tenderly drawn and unique work features live taiko drumming.
