A dynamic and compelling work of physical theatre examining the kamikaze spirit. War is by no means something that starts overnight, but rather a very calculated preparation by political forces, The indoctrination of the glory of death and the brandishing of the rifle and sword from the corporeal expression of six actors reveals how humans can lose the sense of being Human.
The cast has already undergone two and a half years of full-time contemporary theatre training , including immersions in Noh theatre from Japan, Beijing Opera from China, Kutiyattan from India and Wayang Wong from Indonesia. Director Leela Alaniz from Brasil has taught them the corporeal mime techniques of Etienne Decroux and techniques derived from theatre anthropology. From these physical bases, this unique piece provides an entirely new dimension to language.
