         Attic, The         Kutsukake Tokijiro

Attic, The

Synopsis:
the acclaimed play (performed in English) explores the social issue which the Japanese call hikikomori (withdrawn) - people whose obsessions lead them to cocoon themselves in solitary withdrawal and refuse contact with the outside world. This phenomenon is a growing trend not only in Japan, but all over the world. With unexpected wit and dark humour, the audience is immersed in the haunting tragedy of hikikomori by the cramped physicality of the actors on stage. It is performed in a small cube, conjuring the claustrophobic atmosphere of an attic.

Kutsukake Tokijiro

Synopsis:
Kutsukake Tokijiro is a traditional Japanese gangster story that explores the themes of love, obligation and self-sacrifice. After Kutsukake Tokijiro (a.k.a. Toki) slays rival gangster Sanzo, he promises to take care of Sanzo's pregnant wife and son and, most importantly, free them all from the violent gangster lifestyle. Initially, they live the life of poor artists and all is well. But when they fall on hard times, Toki is offered a high-paying job for the gangster Boss and faces a tough decision that will affect the course of many lives.
