Business Overview
Yudai Kamisato, director and director of Okazaki Art Theater, spent 2 years researching his family roots and created "+51 Aviación, San Borja" which had its premiere in Yokohama in February 2015. This play is performed at the Kunsten Festival des Arts 2016, an international performing arts festival held in Brussels every May. Synopsis: This semi-documentary film traces the roots of the film's creator, Yudai Kamisato, who was born in Peru and raised in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, by referring to the life of Sano Seki, famous as the father of Mexican theater, and the life of Kannai Ryoichi, a businessperson involved in farming in Hokkaido. The main theme of the play is to show a new perspective on Japanese society by highlighting the modern history of Japan, the history of immigration, and the history of theater, as well as the problems of contemporary society, where immigration and discriminatory behavior are prominent.
