What we do

I was there

  • Organization : Aoi Sayaka
  • Section : Artistic and creative activity in Tokyo
  • Type of Grant Program : Single Individual
  • Art Forms : Theater

Outline

Through an installation and performance making full use of a Japanese-style house – an aspect of Japanese culture – the audience’s personal memories intersect with general memories of land and buildings. The “I was there” creators hope this leads to rediscovery of the appeal of Japanese culture, and the cultivation of it.
