This work poses a question for the body living in Japan today: how should we relate to the body in the “past” – consisting of modern Japanese history, customs, culture and ideas – and how we should relate to our body going forward? Our conceptions of past and future are depicted as coexisting. Through such a depiction, the work was created to share contemporary Japan (the here and now) with the audience, and reconsider constructive thought through performing arts. In addition, this is a work that the troupe hopes to promote in Japan and overseas as one portraying contemporary Japan in a multi-layered way.
