This performance based on “The Human Chair” by Ranpo Edogawa featured a puppet and a human performer as well as live music.
Based on the concept of the illusion of a man inside a chair and the illusion of a woman sitting in that chair combining to create a new illusion, the performance incorporated a mask, a piece of cloth, and a human body, using a single puppeteer with a katate ningyo (a doll operated by one hand) to embody the mysterious and bizarre world of Ranpo Edogawa.
A highlight of this performance was its strange and melodious musical performance which used a variety of instruments including the Theremin, the world’s first electronic musical instrument, used for the sound effects in horror and science fiction movies.
