Tomo Fujisawa and Gesner had a lot of discussions and translated them by hand to compose the script. It was staged in collaboration with Fujisawa, who was in his twenties at the time, and Gesner. I reinterpreted the esoteric original work with the feeling of young people in modern Japan, and asked the modern Japanese society.

With a work called “Rat Hunting” and a double-performance, he performed a traveling tour by truck in seven locations nationwide, which was taken up in the “NHK Arts Theater” and broadcast nationwide as a documentary.
