The theatre group FAIFAI has continued to develop a unique style of cutting-edge performances, filled with humor and socially aware messages. Following its memorable appearance at F/T09 Autumn, FAIFAI’s gorilla character makes a welcome return to the festival. This time, the gorilla will dance in a park in Ikebukuro. As the live music grows more impassioned and aggressive, the behavior of the gorilla performer will gradually reveal enlightening truths about the human body.
Running Time: 40 min. (TBC)
This highly diverse art and performance series unfolds in various places around Tokyo and its surrounding area. Bringing audiences into contact with local history, culture and communities, the site-specific events shape a new relationship between spectators and participants.
