Outline

Now in his 30s and recalling his feelings at university when anxiety about the future of society led to impulsive creativity, Baobab leader Wataru Kitao has reconsidered the past, present, and future. At a time when the balance of society is changing, with what sort of sense of balance will dancers and actors, the people who express themselves physically, ride out the situation we find ourselves in? With this work Kitao has asked himself how he is going to take his own steps forward, with audiences superimposing themselves on performers, and considered how he will ride the waves of society going forward.
