This play deals with the earthquake disaster that happened in March 2011. In the performance, the scene in Tokyo immediately after the disaster is discussed through the characters, and connected to the thinking of Immanuel Kant and Viktor Frankl, putting forward the idea of a universal narrative from the personal experience of disaster. The performance took place in Tokyo’s Mitaka City, the setting of the work.
