FY2024 3rd Startup Grant

Business Overview

A performance of a one-man play written seven years ago, which has been extensively rewritten.
The title "complete, verifiable and irreversible" refers to the principle of North Korea's dismantlement of its nuclear weapons proposed by the United States and established since 2004. Inspired by his simple interest in performance art and physical expression, he devised a one-man show in which improvisation words are interwoven into the written text.
The content expands from a life-size space setting of a room in an apartment to a very small and very large scale including nuclear reactions.
