“The Bag” is a short story by Kobo Abe.
The story features a young man looking for a job, the narrator, who works in an office, and the young man’s bag.
Based on the original work “The Bag,” this work looks at these three as characters; performers freely cross over into each other’s roles in the depiction of this strange story of two men and a bag.
“allegoria” –Another way to talk about Kobo Abe “The Bag” is a dance performance using physicality to narrate “The Bag,” a highly allegorical story.
