A series of dramas exploring Fukushima today

Known for extracting and reconstructing multiple perspectives on a city that has experienced unprecedented trauma, marebito theater company’s previous work at F/T includes “Voiceprints City — Letters to Father”, about Masataka Matsuda’s hometown of Nagasaki, and “Hiroshima-Hapcheon: Doubled Cities in Exhibition”, which deals with Korean victims of the atomic bombing. As with “Record of a Journey to Antigone, and Its Performance” (F/T12), this new work explores the theme of Fukushima, developed from a project that examined Nagasaki for three years. Several writers research a city, after which their scripts are staged very minimally to uncover the specific history and nature of that place. Five years on from the Fukushima disaster, the project now presents a multi-layered, four-day attempt to reflect the present reality of the region.

Running Time: 90 min. (TBC)
