Performers for the Japanese version wanted!
The performance of Jerome Bel's "The Show Must Go On" in Japan will
be co-presented by Festival/Tokyo 11 and Saitama Arts Theater. This work
created a stir in the European theatre world by radically questioning
the principles of stage dance. After it's premiere in Paris in 2001, it
toured more than 50 cities all over the world and has in the meantime
become a part of the repertoire of the Lyon Opera Ballet. In 2005,
Jerome Bel won a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award) for
"The Show Must Go On". The piece gathers men and women of different
ages and occupations who perform extremely well-known pop songs that
almost everybody feels familiar with, on stage.
We are currently seeking performers for the Japanese version of "The
Show Must Go On". Stage experience is not required. Desirable are people
of different nationalities, ages and looks.
Don't miss the unique opportunity to participate in this piece that is
highly acclaimed by theaters and festivals worldwide and has
revolutionized the dance world.

F/T recently organized a special orientation event for foreign audiences in Tokyo who wanted to learn more about the month-long interactive theatre piece, "The Complete Manual of Evacuation".
Akira Takayama's work starts online, where audiences go to a special website, hinan-manual.com, to access a map based on Tokyo's circular JR Yamanote Line. By choosing a station you then get a map for where to go to visit a special location ("Evacuation Point") in the area.
