This project is a new stage work based on interviews conducted to date by Ressenchka.
The reality of Tokyo, which used to be an ideal place, becomes clear when you live here. By presenting different dreams on stage, such as the dreams people had for Tokyo, the Tokyo that drives people’s dreams, the dreams that came true in Tokyo, and the dreams that were lost, we create a “Tokyo” by us, and for us. Ressenchka and its cast have staged “TOKYO PIPE DREAM LAND” to register that we were here, and who we may or may not have become.

Ressenchka
Ressenchka is a company that produces works of performance art, led and directed by Kawai Hogara. In recent years, it has consistently conducted interviews with people of all ages and occupations, using interview contents collage-style to create scripts for performances. Additionally, Ressenchka uses existing text from dramas, novels and other works, with the aim of reconstructing reality as it is, interweaving moral aspects from times past and present with the respective truths and realities of interviewees.
