Outline

A drama written and directed by troupe leader Ayano Tezuka and based on her personal experience.
The theme of this 16-part work is the boundaries between the self and others. The main subject is the discriminatory structure and the realities of the sex industry in a male-dominated society. As Tezuka herself was born in Fukushima Prefecture, the depiction of the Great East Japan Earthquake is vivid.

Profile

TeXi‘s
Formed in 2021 as a troupe creating genre-less works including stage creation and exhibitions for theater, dance, and fashion.The troupe comprises Ayano Tezuka, Chiharu Shibuya, Michi Furukawa and Hajime Ono, who all went to J.F. Oberlin University college of Performing and Visual Arts. It brings a kitsch and pop element to its depiction of emotions that the individual does not express in daily life, and to the universal lying dormant in the body.
