A dialog-based drama with five characters, inspired by Nikolai Gogol’s short story “The Overcoat.” The work is built on the original story of “The Overcoat’,” in which the protagonist Akaky’s new overcoat is stolen, he dies without having any way to get it back, and then becomes a ghost and steals overcoats on a nightly basis. This reworking is a ghost story about Kida-kun, a spirit who haunts the world even though he has no earthly attachments. The story unfolds through repeated exaggeration and digression in the characters’ narratives. The flood of words and the existence of a ghost who struggles to just be what it is are absurdist and generate a modern sense of emptiness. The performers comprise Mio Tanzawa and Tatsuyuki Minamide of Kahatare with Seiji Akiba, Asaki Nakamura, and Masahiro Miyao. In addition, during the creative process the troupe held concurrent workshops featuring outside facilitators from other genres, and workshop content was then incorporated into the playwriting and acting of “A Considerate Ghost.” The guest facilitators were ghost story writer Sumi Asaka, acting instructor/actor Keisuke Yokoo, and dancer/choreographer Kanae Asakawa.
