MOON SAGA - Mysteries of Yoshitsune I
The theatre play is set in the late Heian (794–1185) and early Kamakura period (1185–1333) in Japan. The main character is young adult Minamoto no Yoshitsune, from the Minamoto clan. Like previous chapters, it is a historical fiction, a world with supernatural powers and spirits (Mononokes). The idea was to create a story where the Oni (Japanese demons) were the origin of vampires, and eventually of the central character.[19] In the Heian period existed those called as Mononoke (spirits), and Mononofu, who were born between humans and Mononoke, and with special powers dominated both Mononoke and humans. The story from Mysteries of Yoshitsune spreads out when the member with inherited blood crossed over to Europe, and became the progenitor of the later vampires.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The production constructs a rich mythological world, relying on Japanese folklore and historical frames. It explores the blurred lines between the human and the supernatural, weaving a samurai's destiny into the genesis of European vampirism.
What lingers after the curtain falls is the scale of a legend about fate and legacy, where history and fantasy become one. — MovieFinder Editorial
