Outline

One of the greatest feature of Shu Matsui’s work is to focus cutting-edge aspects of our modern lives such as homosexuality, gender transition, regenerative medicine and religion while his consistent theme of this work is to challenge boundaries. In this new piece of three actors drama, one of the actor he will direct is Kim Ito, an acclaimed dancer and choreographer. The piece illustrates the situation borrowed by The Wayfarer of Soseki Natsume which is a sibling and older brother’s wife live in the same house together.
The older brother confronts distrust against his wife, and requests his younger brother to take a two days and one night trip with her alone. He also asks him to report every single thing happened between them. You must not miss how Shu will develop and end this triangle relationship on stage.
