Business Overview

Ichihara Satsuko is a playwright and director who dares and delicately questions society's untouchable taboos and contradictions surrounding sex.
In this film, the absurdity and comicality arising from patriarchy, capitalism, and the distortion of mass production and consumption systems, as well as the global uniformity of desire, are sublimated into a poignant Q (question). The Paris performance is a special performance with the cast completely changed.
