WORLD PREMIERE JAPAN SOCIETY THEATER COMMISSION
Get a rare look behind the scenes of Japan Society’s landmarked building in Our Planet, our newly-commissioned theater production that whisks the audience through offices, conference rooms and backstage areas. Directed by Alec Duffy, founder of the OBIE Award-winning company Hoi Polloi, the inaugural English-language production of this acclaimed play by young theater phenom Yukio Shiba juxtaposes the everyday life of an ordinary family with the galactic events of the earth’s birth and death. Duffy’s creative team includes OBIE-winning scenic designer Mimi Lien, composer Tei Blow and Japanese motion graphics master Nobuyuki Hanabusa, whose moving images enhance the building-wide playing field. Performed in English. Limit 30 pp per performance
This is a non-seated, standing and walking performance experience. No late entry.
