All wearing gorilla suits, the faifai members form a gorilla group! How about a souvenir shot with a gorilla, taken in the “jungle” of Ikebukuro? In the F/T Station, a huge dome-shaped tent outside of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space designed for audiences and artists alike to mingle, the faifai gorilla will wreck havoc, and maybe make history in the city of Ikebukuro!?

faifai
Tokyo company formed in 2004 with 13 members.
Constantly pushing the conventional borders of theatre, faifai is involved in video works, catering, parties, exhibitions and event planning in addition to stage productions. The members of different nationalities, who come from different backgrounds like cosplayers, designers, cooks and figure creators, call themselves “a group with an happy aura, packaging what is pop today”. Dealing with the complexity of “today”, and the relationship between the metropolis and its people, their works bring about and instant feeling of happiness. In summer of 2009 they go on a tour in Europe with the work “My name is I LOVE YOU”.
