Reading | An Evening with Japanese Avant-Garde Playwright Takeshi Kawamura


Kawamura brings his new work Four, directed by John Jesurun and translated by Philip Flavin. Followed by a panel discussion with Peter Eckersall and John Jesurun. Kawamura gained recognition in the 1980s for his popular-culture-influenced, violent, highly physical plays. Building upon this early work with later projects of social criticism and postmodern theatrical experimentation, Kawamura secured his position as an internationally recognized theatre artist. As artistic director of theatre companies Daisan Erotica and T Factory, Kawamura uses his plays to comment directly and indirectly on Japanese social conditions and current events while prompting audiences to consider issues such as the shaping influences of media, the confusion of reality with fantasy, and the nature of human individuality.
