This performance is the culmination of the various works about the body and power that we at Demolition have performed in the 90s. In particular, the somatic themes that run through our major stage productions such as "The Dog" ('93), "Tokyo Ghetto" ('95), and "Zero Category" ('97) – the drama of the emergence and disappearance of the "body as a place of struggle" between sexes, between classes, and between races, or the virtual sexuality in the city, the revival of the body in discipline, And the daily lives of people who have been left in an anarchic turmoil are quietly and passionately spelled out on the stage. I would like to present these "dramas of the body" as political "theater of images" in light of the important principles of the performing arts of this century.
In today's world, where all programs for recovery expire in an instant, I would like to reveal the extreme human body and its conditions as "exiles on earth" as we face the end of the century.
