Business Overview
I would like to consider the political "behavior" that individuals and groups are supposed to have regardless. Rather than political activities themselves, "politics" is ubiquitous in our daily lives and directly affects our thinking and judgment. It is about the political "behavior" that the human race, which cannot live without forming a group, inevitably involves. Condolence for My Brother: Antigone by Sophocles, which depicts the conflict between the humanistic custom of burying a human being and the religious obligation established in the relationship between God and man, and the human law. Created in parallel in Tokyo and Bangkok, focusing on the novelist Le Guin's "Left-Handed Commencement Address," which is based on feminism and promotes a new way of seeing and perceiving the world from the minority side. In each city, a stage production is created based on various texts brought by participants. Original story/"Antigone" by Sophocles, "Left Handed Commencement Address" by Le Guin, etc. Composition and direction/Yasuto Yano cast/Yuko Kawabuchi, Asako Mitsuhashi, Takashi Okiwatari, Yuhei Yokota, Khanty Waswit Chayakit, Smonter Suanponglat, etc. Costumes/Yoko Takeuchi Video/Techit Giroux Coordinator/Yukata Ehara Producer/Festival Curator/Wasrat Unaprom
