Outline

Theater Commons Tokyo is a project to create a collective space for society that harnesses the collective wisdom of theater. By using theater – that is, by applying theatrical ideas – in the context of everyday life and the urban space, it aims to propose a model for theater(s) to come. Theater Commons Tokyo and its artists use the imagination of theater to create experiences in which diverging elements and time periods intersect, and the ordinary is defamiliarized through dialogue and discovery. This eighth edition of Theater Commons Tokyo featured VR performance, plays, screenings, and other programs. Apichatpong Weerasethakul “A Conversation with the Sun (VR)” (VR performance), Q / Satoko Ichihara “Yoroboshi: The Weakling” (Theater), Saodat Ismailova “18,000 worlds” and more (Film screening), Nastaran Razawi Khorasani “Songs for no one” (Theater), Commons Tour (Tour), Commons Forum #1~3 (Talk event) , and related programs: Minouk Lim “Hyper Yellow” (Exhibition) and “S.O.S – Run Shin Shin” (Performance) .
