potudo-ru [Japan]
Text, Direction: Daisuke Miura [Japan]
November 15 (Thu) - November 25 (Sun) Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Theatre West
FESTIVAL/TOKYO
Performing Arts Festival launching from Tokyo
Summary
Potudo-ru's work has showcased humanity by observing the lives of young Japanese, depicting a world of discrimination, sex and solitude. It is a landscape that shakes audiences not only through words but also in the smallest of movements, the most emotionally potent of gazes.
First staged in March 2006 by Daisuke Miura right after winning the Kishida Kunio Award for "Love's Whirlpool", "Castle of Dreams" is a wordless play portraying the extraordinary shared living environment of 8 men and women amongst a chaos of futon, clothes, food and garbage. It has met acclaim not just in Japan but in its stagings throughout Europe, introducing audiences to a primal group of people whose daily lives consist merely of sleeping, eating, fighting and screwing. 6 years on from its debut, it retains its power to shock and amaze.
