Massage from Yuichiro Komikado
（Playwright・Director）


Hello, I’m Yuichiro Komikado, the playwright and director of this performance.

In 2020, we equally suffered the pandemic everywhere around the world. Theaters and cinemas were closed, and creating new performances seemed ever so difficult. That was when NOMEETS invented “Fully Remote Theatre”, which is created without physically meeting any actors and creative staff. And we have performed live in a virtual space.

v If performing "now and here" is the definition of theatre, "Fully Remote Theatre" may not be "Theatre" in its fullest form.

At first, we also anticipated this as only an alternative.

However, even though the performance took place in a virtually recreated "now", and the performance space was virtual, the connection we felt from sharing the moments of the performance was real, and equal to that which we could enjoy in the theaters.

The internet could help us overcome our "physical distances".

Then, we thought, maybe we can create a performance together with people living overseas, in distant countries. That is how we came to this project.

Through the process of creating a performance together with creators in various countries, we are bound to encounter many barriers that we must overcome.
Our languages may be different. We may be living our daily lives in different time zones. We may notice differences in our attitudes and cultures upon creating a performance.

Instead of creating a superficial fictional performance by overlooking these differences, we are determined to confront and overcome each of our conflicts to create a truly intercultural performance.

Regardless of the language you are reading this message in, or the country you are reading it in, if you happen to empathize with our determination, we hope to see you at our audition!
