Outline

Art action unit MINORI-MAJORITE TRAVEL implemented its “Tokyo Boundary Lines Travel Journal” project from 2005 to 2006 in metropolitan Tokyo, resulting in the audience participatory stage performance “Seven Deadly Sins”, which creates awareness of how identification becomes discrimination. Now a short film has been made based on footage from the project and subsequent interviews, and released as the new work by director Makoto Sasaki. This screening will also feature a talk event with a mixture of performers and production staff. In addition, as a pre-event there will be a talk featuring insightful guests from inside and outside the theatrical arts field. Material from the time of the project (PR items, reports, records of workshops and performances, mailing lists, etc.) will be consolidated in archive form.
