“EXPECT” expressed the “Model City” where anyone can be happy. I created three characters: a traveler, an town planner, and an normal woman,.and they always listen to the same radio program “Model City highway radio” . The Tokyo (on-site) performance was simultaneously staged with Sichuan (online). I directed this production combined projectors, space, and the body and voice .
This project aims to serve as an experiment in new directing methods and as the first public event in Tokyo, allowing the audience to see it and inviting wide-ranging critiques to promote cultural exchange in contemporary theater between Japan and China.
