This performance presented an “unknown Tokyo,” in a work structured around interviews with/research on people living or raised in Tokyo. The work expressed the accumulated moment-by-moment perspectives of individuals living in Tokyo who regard the huge city, often talked about in stereotypes, as their hometown. Maximizing not only its performers but also music, video, light and the 8th-storey space of its city hotel venue, the performance offered audiences an up-close experience of “a part of Tokyo” at the end of the 2010s.
