A car becomes the
focal point of a strange network of human relationships. . .
Iwamatsu Ryo's unusual piece captures a slice of contemporary life.
The second installment in the "Where are we going?" series, whose
overall theme is "Memories of the Future," is a newly-completed play
by the multitalented playwright, director, and actor Iwamatsu Ryo, known for his
penetrating insight and unique perspective on contemporary society. While our
material culture advances with dizzying speed, giving our daily lives all the
modern conveniences, human relations grow ever more attenuated and even the family
unit is destabilized. Using the odd premise of a woman who keeps a car in her
house, the human relations that precede material culture are exposed. The cast
includes Nakamura Toru, active in film and television as well as some much-talked-about
theater productions; Kurano Akiko, who demonstrates increasing maturity as a performer;
and Ito Ayumi, who makes her stage debut in this production. When you add the
individualistic acting styles of Iwamatsu Ryo and Hayafune Satoshi to this mix,
things get even more interesting... Experience drama presented in an intimate
environment by a compelling group of actors.
Synopsis
A woman in late middle age, living
in a house in the suburbs. The biggest thing on her agenda: taking care of the
car left behind by her only daughter, who has gone to work in the city. She is
frequently visited by a car salesman, who eventually forgets about trying to sell
her a new car and begins to help take care of hers; the salesman's fiance shows
up on a mission to win him back; and the old man next door, who has been spying
on all of this, suddenly comes forth with a bizarre revelation about the woman's
past......
