Ikiume brings out the absurdities of humanity and the world through science fiction-style settings. Its "Library of Life" series collection of short plays started in 2005, part comedy, part horror, purporting to be glimpses of the past, present and future gleaned from a visit to an archive in the netherworld. 12 of the best pieces will be selected from the previous 3 productions and re-staged with new work.
