A site-specific theatrical home shopping experience

This new play is performed solo by its creator, actor Takeshi Fukuda, known for his work with Shigeki Nakano + Frankens. He brings his highly original and humorous approach this time to home shopping. Fukuda introduces fictitious products in the style of a TV shopping channel, harnessing the things and people gathered at each performance. Mixing reality and fiction, his agreeably bewildering sales pitch turns the audience into potential customers.

He has performed solo since 2009, beguiling audiences with his unique delivery that mixes truth and fiction.
