KPR/Kaimaku Pennant Race, whose mission is to seek new theatrical forms, has chosen an all-standing performance style for its latest work. This is “Vake tudo (everything goes)” theater, where audiences are free to eat, drink, record and film as much as they want. A sixty-minute showdown in which the performers abuse the bodies God gave them and envelop the venue in untamed mayhem!

The production made a triumphal return to Japan in December the same year for the troupe’s eighth stage appearance. March 2010 marked the company’s ninth performance. In November 2011, KPR gave its first regional performance in Sapporo (it’s 10th performance). February 2011 saw its 11th performance, Anton and Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard. In August 2011 KPR took part in the 2nd Shitamachi Theater Festival (marking its 12th performance), and the following month hit the stage in Sapporo for its 13th show. In March 2012 the troupe won two prizes, the Award for Excellency and the Audience Award, at the Young Directors Contest 2011, held by the Japan Directors Association.
