The Japanese dancer of Noh theater, Ryoko Aoki contributes a permanent element of seduction in consonance with the music.

The role of Malinche, a character invented by Rihm, which she doesn't say a single word. A Noh theatre dancer, Ryoko Aoki performs, the "Japanese Nuria Espert", who is also very applauded.

The figure de Malinche who she doesn't sing but she moves in a ritual form, creates atmosphere in the scene.

The Japanese dancer of Noh theater, Ryoko Aoki flies for the scene, like an eloquent bird, without opening the mouth. She is an unsuspected Malinche who avoids to fall in sentimentalities that dots the sad night as we would pass among those cadavers with the compassionate curiosity of humanity. When those survivors hug to the deads, that piece makes us human, with her, Malinche. The only silent one finally makes all recover, when the curtain of the stage closes and we return to our matters.

A very beautiful theatrical idea of Rihm is to make a dancer of Malinche, the interpreter and translator enters Montezuma and Cortez (a traitress for Mexican: the conquest of Mexico would have been impossible for Hernán Cortés without the help of the Mexican peoples who hated the Aztecs). She dances and translates and her movements are her bilingual words. In the setting of Audi the role is confided to a Japanese dancer, Ryoko Aoki, her movements are elegant, delicate and formed in the venerable living theatre Noh.
