A portrait of the city emerges from projections of body and language

The playwright and director Suguru Yamamoto, who leads the up-and-coming theatre group HANCHU-YUEI, started this solo documentary project to investigate the life of a single human being. In partnership with the dancer Wataru Kitao, the project premiered in 2015 and also attracted acclaim at TPAM Direction in Yokohama this February. From the diffuse reflections of Kitaoʼs strong, supple body and Yamamotoʼs minimal yet sharp projected text emerges a portrayal of the city.

Running Time: 90 min. (TBC)
Language: Performed in Japanese with English surtitles
